In this Wild Baskets workshop we will be making a Melon Basket which is constructed with a circle inside a circle and joined at right angles with a stitch called a Godseye. Ribs are then added to construct the bowl shape.

The basket will be approximately 25cm in height and diameter. The materials we will be using are foraged fibres: - Weed Vines collected from Sunshine Coast Hinterland properties and a variety of leaves and vines collected from our Property in Diamond Valley. We will also use cordage made from various leaves.
