Basketry For The Fall Harvest - Onion & Garlic Round Reed Baskets

Basketry

Cathryn Peters

Just right for the kitchen - a hand-woven basket that will keep your onions and garlic fresh for weeks! Perfect for the fall harvest, each student will learn to make two wall hanging baskets woven from round reed in this one-day course. Working in the twining tradition of basketry, you will control the shape and create a woven rope-like handle for each basket - perfect for hanging on the wall. (Basket dimensions: onion 15”H x 8”W and garlic 8”H x 5”W)

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
