Get cozy with some beginner basketry skills and master the crochet stitch.

Students in this class will learn how to create a basket using various core materials and holding the piece together with a crochet stitch. Students will also learn how to wrap fabric and other materials around their core material to add additional interest. 

We will use a variety of mixed fibers in this project and students can bring materials from home such as fabric scraps, yarn leftovers, buttons, etc. to add some personal touches to their piece.

PLEASE NOTE: Students will complete a small bowl basket project in this class and learn the skills necessary to create larger baskets.
