Basket Weaving Workshop with Martha Bremer

The ever stylish and functional Melon Basket is a great project for the beginner weaver. This round style of basket is aptly named for its size and shape, and is also known affectionately as the potato or egg basket.

This class will introduce basic weaving techniques, such as hoop construction, that produce beautiful and strong round-bottom baskets. Each weaver will complete a colorful and unique basket to take home.
