Learn and practice your basketry skills making beautiful and useful egg baskets! This class will take you step by step through the process of making two to three ribbed baskets in varying sizes. This iconic style of basket provides a few interesting challenges to an intermediate weaver while also remaining approachable to beginners. Learn to make a God's Eye and half God's eye to lash the rims together, and how to insert primary and secondary ribs. Different colors of reed will be available to accent your basket and material fees will depend on how many baskets you make at what size.
