The Gather Basket: "Little Red Riding Hood"

$125

with Jessica Steele

Calendar Aug 14, 2025 at 4 pm

Whether you're hiking through a lush forest or exploring the corners of your own backyard, there’s something special about having a charming basket to gather mushrooms, flowers, or herbs.

In this class, you'll create a beautifully unique gathering basket, perfectly sized for your foraged treasures. The finished basket features a 10” x 10” base, 8" weaving height, and a wooden swing handle that reaches 14” high.

The class fee includes all materials (premium reed and swing handle) and expert instruction. Not only will you take home a handcrafted basket, but you'll also gain skills you can continue to use in future weaving projects.

Join us and create a functional piece of art — and a skill for life!
