Basket weaving is one of the oldest craft techniques used by humans.  For thousands of years people have woven plants into baskets for carrying, storing, fishing, and even as watertight cooking containers and hats.  Basket weaving utilizes math and science properties, history, and art.  Twine a basket using paper twist, your muscles and fine motor skills.  Group size is limited to ensure participants receive individual help.

Why it is INTENSIVE:
One instructor helps each participant begin, 1:1 or 1:2 taking approximately 5 minutes with each pair.  Materials are prepared in advance or can be prepared by participants during the workshop.
 
Best for ages 9 years to adult
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours
 
OPTION for younger folks:

Form your own basket or circular weaving using household items like cardboard, picture frames, or paper plates or cups.  Using less traditional items, it can be perfect for younger ones wanting to learn how to weave.
