Have you ever wanted to try basketweaving but didn’t know where to start? Join master basket weaver Traycee Bosle for a one-day, in-classroom workshop with an introduction to the tools, terminology, and techniques of traditional checkerwork basketry while weaving your very own 5-in diameter Spiral Plaited Pencil Basket. This class is designed for beginning students with little or no experience in basketweaving, or for those who may have dabbled in the past and would like to brush up on their skills.
Tools, towels and bins will be provided, and costs are included in the registration fee. A limited number of additional tool kits and materials kits will be available for purchase ($12 ea.) after class for students who wish to continue to practice at home.
This program is suitable for adults (18+) and ages 14-18, if accompanied by an adult.

Traycee has made it her mission to share her love for this once ubiquitous and critical skill with people of all ages. Her classes are fun, informative and personalized! She provides hands-on, individualized instruction using her own specially designed basket kits to teach the fundamentals of the art and meet each student where they are in their skill level. Whether you are an absolute beginner or have a few baskets under your belt, you will walk away with new skills and a beautiful basket you can use every day.
