Basket Workshop

Join the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates for their fall basket making workshop led by Vicky Heffner. The workshop will take place in the Wayside Lodge at the Daniel Boone Homestead. This workshop’s featured project is a Fort Boonesborough Basket. Participants will reproduce this basket woven by the resident basket weaver at Fort Boonesborough in Kentucky using material fashioned from a tree. The reed was most likely dyed from natural materials like goldenrod, red beets and walnuts, procured from the resident weaver of the fort. This basket will look attractive hanging on your front door or any wall in your home, and a variety of colored reeds will be available to choose from. This basket is great for a beginner weaver, and a more experienced one can add extra touches to make it more difficult.

Registration is required for the workshop and a form can be obtained by emailing us at dGhlZGFuaWVsYm9vbmVob21lc3RlYWQgfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ==. Daniel Boone Homestead Associate Members $50 and Non-Members $60.
