Farmer’s Market Basket Making

This is an in-person, basket making class offered through MDI Adult & Community Education at Mount Desert Island High School.

In this class you will create a finished basket that you can take to the market to grab your fresh produce and bakery items. Step by step directions will be provided to ensure everyone walks away with a finished basket.

The Farmer's Market basket will have two straps that can be worn on the shoulder or carried. Multiple color options on strap. The material of the basket is flat and half round quality reed. We will also add color reed in the basket if desired from blue, purple, red, green, and brown.
