Berry Basket Weaving Class

Berry Basket Weaving Class

Instructor: Debra Halstead

Sunday, April 12 from 10:30am - 2:30pm.

Learn one of the oldest crafts in history—basket weaving—as you create your own beautiful and functional berry basket from natural reed. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have used basketry to craft durable, everyday vessels from materials close at hand. In this hands-on class, you’ll carry on that tradition while gaining the skills to make your own sturdy, attractive basket to take home and use for years to come.

Creating and crafting was passed down by Deb’s mother and grandmother. As a young adult, a basket making class revealed her true passion. This sparked 30 years of refining and teaching this primitive skill. Her baskets have become sought after in local shops. Deb loves fostering others to experience the joy of producing a fine finished basket by the end of every class she has offered. She also prides herself by living sustainably.
