| Basket Descriptions: |

Jar for Flowers - Basket begins on a 3” wooden base using a wide mouth quart jar for a mold that you will weave around. A rusty lid complete with wire frog, dyed reed and a piece of homespun compliment the look of this flower holder. Good beginners basket - quick and easy project.

Falloween - This is a perfect basket to hold candies or use as a centerpiece filled with fall leaves, gourds, and bittersweet. It is 7” in diameter and 4”tall. It also begins on a wooden base and uses lots of smoked reed and natural reed dyed pumpkin. The matchstick border fits perfectly with this basket.

Basic Caning 101 - For all who have wanted to learn to cane - here is your chance. We will start by caning a trivet. Size is 8” x 8” - you will learn the 7 step method of caning which can easily be adapted to a chair. Students will also receive a booklet and package of caning pegs that are yours to keep. Caning a trivet first will give you the opportunity of trying a small project before tackling a chair. This class will run from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
