Berry Picking Basket Workshop with Shannon Lucas-Westrum

** Update: As of January 24th, this event is at full capacity and is now sold out **

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).
