Weave a Cape Cod Berry Basket Workshop (In Person) – 5/23/26
$45.00
Basket Weaving Workshop: Saturday, May 23, 2026, 1-4 p.m. at Canyon Presbyterian Church, Morgantown, West Virginia.
Prepare for blueberry season this year by weaving your very own Cape Cod berry basket with a carved oak handle (6″ across and 7″ high). This make-and-take workshop is appropriate for adult beginners, but any level student is welcome. In addition to your finished basket, you’ll also receive a sheet of illustrated instructions and the web address for purchase of additional materials, should you be inspired to make more baskets. To celebrate the return of spring, we’ll sip tea and enjoy a sweet treat.
Please register and pre-pay here up to one day prior to the workshop. This class is limited to 12 students. Because I need to prepare materials in advance, I’ll not be able to take walk-ins. Please arrive by 12:45 so you’ll have time to get settled before class starts at 1:00. You’ll need to bring a few tools, which are listed below.
Appropriate for adults and truly interested teens, with the target age 14 years and beyond. Please don’t enroll or bring along younger children. See the full description below for additional information.

When: Saturday, May 23, 2026, 1-4 p.m. (arrive by 12:45 p.m.)
Where: Canyon Presbyterian Church, 766 Canyon Rd, Morgantown, West Virginia 26508. (Clicking the link will open up Google Maps to show you the location and directions in a new window.) If you are unfamiliar with the location, please put the address into Google Maps before you head out so you're oriented. Note the church is in the big curve on Canyon Road, so drive carefully. We will be in the community room at the church. Park in the lot and enter through the glass door at basement level, which opens into the community room. Please contact me before the day of the class if you need help with directions. I won't have an assistant on the day of the workshop so won't be able to help you navigate the day of the class.
Bring: Reed is woven wet so you'll need a heavy bath or beach towel for your lap. Please bring a heavy pair of scissors to cut reed and a flat-head (or slotted) screwdriver with an approximately 1/4" blade. I'll have a limited number of small awls available to use when adding the rim, but if you have one, you should bring along your own awl, icepick, or small Phipps-head screwdriver. Some buckets will be provided but if you have a 5-gallon bucket, please bring it.
Provided: 1) All the reed needed to complete one basket; 2) a carved oak handle, 3) a written sheet of instructions to take home, 4) use of tools while in class.
Class Size: The class will be limited to 12 people, so register early.
Cancellation and Transfer Policy: Cancellations with a refund will be accepted up to May 16 at midnight (a small fee will be decucted to cover credit card charges), or you're welcome at any time to transfer your registration to someone else for free as long as they're at least 14 years old. In case of weather bad enough to make travel unsafe, the workshop will be rescheduled and you'll have the option of either attending on the new day or receiving a full refund. Cancellations you make after May 23 will not be refunded.
