Foraging Basket – Pilchuck Campus Crafts Workshop
Date: September 13, 2025 to September 14, 2025
September 13, 10 am – 4 pm & September 14, 10 am – 4 pm
Create your own Foraging Basket - perfect for mushroom hunting, hiking, gardening, or visiting your local farmer’s market! In this two-day intensive we will create tote-bag style baskets using natural and dyed rattan reed. Day one of the class will be dedicated to weaving and building the walls of the basket. Naturally dyed reed will be available to integrate color and pattern. Day two will focus on finishing techniques, shaping, and adding handles. This class will build on introductory plaited-basket making techniques and guide students working on large basket forms, shaping, basketry tools, basic patterning and designing baskets with handles. Each student will leave with their own finished basket. Finished size: 13" L x 5" W x 10" H (size is approximate).
All levels welcome. Class is suitable for beginners and intermediate students.
