Create your own gathering basket from scratch and in the comfort of your own home with our virtual workshop.  Carolyn Kemp will take you step-by-step to create this large basket in one afternoon.  This traditional basket, was and still is, used to gather cut flowers or herbs from the garden.  The basket is large enough to hold plenty of stems and with an open base that allows loose earth to filter out.  Fill it up as you carry it through the garden or sit it on the ground as you cut.  Make it yourself with Carolyn guiding you step by step.

Students will receive an illustrated pattern to follow along with or save for an independent project.  All basket materials will be included in your mailed kit.  There is a short list of household tools that are required. (water bucket, towel, ruler, pencil, scissors, awl, clips/clothespins/twist ties)

Finished basket dimensions: 20” x 8” x 8” with an oak handle.

Woven from natural reed rattan it can be stained or left natural to age with time.

Some weaving experience is definitely helpful as this is not a “first” basket.
