Join master Basket Maker Shannon Lucas Westrum for a hands-on basket weaving workshop! This workshop includes weaving a round base, adding upright accent spokes, lashing with cord, cutting and riveting your own leather handle. Great for collecting berries and mushrooms, this piece has a lot of versatility. The finished basket will measure 7" across the base, 6 1/4” across the top, and 5” high (not including leather handle).

Instructor will provide all necessary tools (shears, weights, towels, wash tubs, etc). Hand dexterity required. Ages 14+. There will be a 1/2hr lunch break. Lunch will not be not provided.

Thanks to an Arts Education Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, participant cost for this workshop has been reduced by more than 60% and all materials are included free of cost.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Instructor: Shannon Lucas-Westrum and Jesse Westrum

Date: Saturday, April 4, 10:00am-4:00pm
