Learn the basics of basketry by weaving a classic hearth basket. This utilitarian tote is perfect for carrying and storing kindling and looks great by the fireplace. Learn to weave an open bottom and different techniques for basket construction including "Start and Stop" on the sides of the basket and finishing a stair-step rim. Different colors of reed will be available to weave in accents and focal points. Students can expect to complete a hearth basket in class and to leave with handouts to be able to make more in the future.
