On Saturday, May 18, 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM, there will be an in-person workshop. Participants will make a simple square basket. This is a great introduction to basket weaving, and all levels of experience are welcome. The basket is made of reed with seagrass trim and will stand about 7.5” on a side and about 3.5” tall. Learn to weave the base, sides, and basket rim, choosing from a variety of accent colors to decorate your basket.
There will be a half-hour break midway through and participants are encouraged to bring a bag lunch. The workshop will be held in person in the Upper Fellowship Hall at the First Church of Christ, Congregational, 25 Great Road, Bedford, MA. The workshop is free for BACS members and $10 for nonmembers. All participants pay a $20 materials fee to the instructor on the day of the workshop.
