Basket Weaving: Country Catch All

Learn the basics of weaving and take home a basket at Basket Weaving: Country Catch All on Friday, Feb. 6 from 12 to 4 p.m. in The Studio.

Instructor Bonnie Rideout will lead students in laying out a woven, filled base and tuck the filler spokes with the “chicken feet” technique. Students will also learn about starting and stopping and how to use a flat locking row. Sea grass will be used as a rim and the baskets will feature a walnut accent color and two buttons on the front. This County Catch All basket will fit almost any décor!

$65/person. Register AT https://allerton.illinois.edu/events/basket-weaving-country-catch-all/. Registration will close Jan. 23 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
