Description

Join me as we create the classic Star Serving Basket with its gorgeous twill base and color shooting up the sides. The weavers seem to swirl around the basket. I’ll teach you all the tips and tricks for making this basket with ease. It’s so pretty that it looks much harder than it really is. The rim is a traditional half-oval secured with waxed linen. The finished basket is approximately 15” in diameter and 4” deep. I use mine as our breadbasket.

Prerequisites for participants:

• Though experience is helpful, none is required for this class. I’ll be with you every step of the way.
