Join in the fun and learn to weave a ribbed basket. We will take the traditional melon basket patten an make our own unique version using reed and a variety of upcycled and natural materials. This basket uses 12" round hoops for handles, round ribs (reed) for the framework, and flat reed for the weavers, plus anything else you want to add to the basket (if it is pliable). You will learn how to weave a traditional "god's eye" to bind the handles together and create a space for the placement of the ribs.  Multiple colors of flat reed will be available to give your basket a distinctive look. There will also be plenty of plain reed and natural materials. If you want to add yarn or fabric from your stash, please bring it! This basket is a work of art and individual creativity, each one will be unique. You will be so proud of yourself!

Requirements: Moderate hand strength. Attention to detail. Patience.
