Apple Baskets

With Jesica Clark

two days, in person

Saturday, September 7 and Sunday, September 8 2024, 9-5

Glebe House Garden, 635 Main Street in Poughkeepsie

In this weekend workshop, students will work to weave beautiful handled baskets, perfect for gathering an autumn harvest. Students will learn to construct a traditional basket with a circular base, rounded or sharp angled upsets, a choice of side weave and a twisted handle. Participants can expect to finish the class with a beautiful and sturdy basket.

This course is available to all participants, no prior basket or weaving experience necessary. Willow can be a challenge to work with, and physically engaging, this class may be difficult for a person with hand issues. This class includes an hour lunch break.
