Arts Experience at Loyalist

Course Overview: In this beginner-friendly basketry workshop, you will step into an age-old craft rooted in everyday life. Create your own flat-bottom square basket, a classic utility piece made to carry, gather, store and serve, while also being a beautifully handcrafted piece you will proudly display. You will be guided step by step through the full basket-making process as you create your own square market basket, approximately 8” x 8”, using natural and hand-dyed reed. As your basket takes shape, you will learn essential weaving techniques and practical skills you need to continue with this craft.
