In the spirit of the Scandinavian Folk School tradition on the beautiful setting of Minnesota’s North Shore, join us for a weekend of basketweaving and seatweaving! Class fills rapidly so make your online registration soon or call 1-888-387-9762 for more details and request for color catalog.

” ONION & GARLIC” ROUND REED BASKETS

Friday, February 18, 2005 9:00 – 5:00 p.m.

These two companion baskets are the perfect culinary solution to storing your onions and garlic! Entire basket is made using one simple weaving technique, but is an exercise in shaping and weaving control.

In this one-day class, suitable for advanced beginners, you will create two bulbous baskets reminiscent of the items you will be storing. The open design allows air to flow around the vegetables keeping them fresh for weeks and can be hung from the wall on a rope-like handle you will incorporate into the baskets. Onion- 15″H x 8″W and Garlic- 8″H x 5″W Tuition and Materials Fee: $90

If you are a chair caner or other type of seatweaver and have a problem you need help with, please join us anytime on the Board.
