Class Descriptions
Stars and Hearts
These creations are easy introductions to weaving. Classes last 2 hours and participants take home 2 large stars or 2 heart shaped baskets. Good for beginners of almost any age.
PRICE: $40
Baskets
Classes in basket making are tailored to the interests and skills of the participants. It's much more fun to work on a basket for a few hours then set it aside and come back to it another day.
PRICE: $80
Brooms
Like baskets, brooms are a household necessity and there's a long history associated with this craft. Broom making classes are 2 hours long for a basic broom.
PRICE: $50
Seat Weaving
So much to learn with this craft! There are different materials, different patterns, different types of chairs. Introductory classes can be done on stools or childrens' chairs using shaker tape. A more complex project might be replacing the cane seat on an antique chair using the 7 step method. Introductory classes last 4 hours. The complex project would require 4 classes, each 4 hours long, supplemented by work between classes.
