Hearth Basket

Join Master Weaver Shannon Lucas Westrum for a hands-on basket

weaving workshop, where you'll craft a versatile basket perfect for

hearth or harvest. Under the expert guidance of Shannon and her

apprentice, you'll build a sturdy grid base and weave the sides around

an 8" square hoop. You'll also learn to create cordage from local

grasses or leaves and work with birch bark for decorative accents.

The finished basket will measure 8" high, 9" wide, and 14" long—a

beautiful and functional piece to take home.

Instructor will provide all necessary tools (shears, weights, towels, wash

tubs, etc.) Hand dexterity required. Ages 14+.

Thanks to an Arts Education Grant from the Minnesota State Arts

Board, participant cost for this workshop has been reduced by more

than 60% and all materials are included free of cost.
