Class Description: Two-day creel-making class for experienced weavers. You'll work with a D-shaped base, exploring scalloped back stakes and adding stakes through the hoop and corners. We'll weave up the sides using three rod wale, randing, and packing techniques while navigating corners and shaping a bellied front. The basket includes a woven rod border, lid (hole optional), and leather details. Adaptable as either a fishing creel or stylish purse. This project does require good hand strength.

Notes: Intermediate level class - requires comfort with willow, and students should be familiar with three rod wale, randing, and shaping techniques. All materials will be included.

Prerequisites: Intermediate willow weaving experience required. Familiarity with pairing/reverse pairing, waling weaves, and at least one side weave/randing weave is necessary.
Physically engaging; may be challenging for those with hand issues. Lunch break included each day.
