Freehand Basket Weaving with Wood Handle with Amy Dugas

Class Description:
Using the Japanese random weave technique, we will create an organically shaped basket. Handles will be made from driftwood or curly hazel, all different with a unique look. The baskets will be woven around the handles so the size and shape of the baskets will all vary.

We will use a mixture of natural materials. Once finished the baskets are beautiful pieces of home decor, suitable for all sorts of uses such as seasonal arrangements, flower, fruit and veggie harvesting, rustic storage for food, soaps, towels, etc. The possibilities are endless!

*Please note: Weaving supplies are subject to availability (which can be a bit tricky right now), so your finished product may look a little different than the picture!
