Arlington Community Education

While it is an ancient art, basket making is a tradition that continues to thrive today. Learn the basics of basketry and craft your own functional and versatile basket. Topics covered include reed sizing, styles, design of baskets, techniques for creating the base, shaping, continuous weaving, and lashing. Your finished basket will be approximately 6-8" at the base and 5-7" tall, perfect as a fruit basket, bread basket, or to hold trinkets or small books around the house. Add a plastic liner and you can use it as a decorative plant container.

Please note: Some grip strength is required for this class.
