Piscataquis Valley Adult Education Cooperative

Join us to weave a charming miniature pack basket, just the right size to fit a gray squirrel! Using reed, we’ll create a basket approximately 5 inches tall while exploring the history of pack baskets and the various materials traditionally used to craft them. The instructor will go through the process of making the basket step-by-step ensuring all will walk away with a finished basket.
