9061. Willow and Kudzu Pack Basket
Class - Wood | Registration opens 2/10/2026 9:00 AM EST
Weave your own custom pack basket with a combination of willow and kudzu. In this class, we will play to the strengths of willow and kudzu to weave strong but lightweight packs. Students will learn several weaving techniques to structure and shape their baskets, as well as play with design and texture. We will finish our packs with a woven border and foot, and then cut custom leather or cotton straps sized to fit each student.
Additional Information:
- A material fee of $75 will be added at registration
- Registration will close 2 weeks prior to the start of class to allow adequate time for material harvesting
- Enrollment is open to students aged 18+
