New to basket weaving? Get your feet wet as you learn to weave a small antler basket tray. It can be used on your dresser to hold coins or hung on the wall as a decoration. Students will learn rib-style basket weaving on a pre-drilled antler spike with primary ribs inserted, using rattan reed as the weaving material. Tools to bring: dish pan or small water bucket, towel, scissors.

Have you ever wondered how those seats are woven, you know the ones,

with the four triangular sections that meet in the center?
Maybe you have a set of chairs like this and want to fix them, but don’t know where to start?

Well, now you can reweave the rush seat and pick up skills to maybe even go into a sideline business of chair seat weaving!
Take Cathryn’s class and learn a new craft, become a chair seat weaver in no time.
Don’t have a chair to bring to class? Then purchase one from instructor and you’re all set.
