Learn basic basketmaking techniques to weave the seat of a footstool. The footstool will be assembled so students can create their seat with natural and dyed fleet reed. Students will learn how to warp the frame and then weave a herringbone pattern for the seat. The finished size is 12.5" long x 9.5" wide and 8" tall. The class is limited to 12 students and costs $75 per student. All materials are included, and students will bring home their footstools.
Registration is required, here. Attendees may pay online with their registration or in person before the workshop.
