Weave a Cape Cod Berry Basket Workshop (In-Person) – 3/22/2026
$40.00
Basket Weaving Workshop: Sunday, March 22, 2026, 1-4:30 p.m. at The Ferry House in Maidsville, West Virginia.
Just in time for spring harvests, weave a reed 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 Four Seasons Spring oolong 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.

Where: The Ferry House, 88 Lazzelle Union Rd, Maidsville, WV 26541. (Clicking the link will open up Google Maps to show you the location and directions in a new window.) Google Maps will get you to The Ferry House, but your iPhone Maps App will not. If you are unfamiliar with the location, please put the address into Google Maps before you head out so you're oriented. 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 on 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 small awls available to help when adding the rim, but you might also like using a small Phipps-head screwdriver (optional).
Provided: 1) All the reed needed to complete one basket; 2) a carved oak handle (finished to repel water), 3) a written sheet of instructions to take home, 4) use of additional tools while in class.
Class Size: The class will be limited to 12 people, so register early.
Cancellation and Transfer Policy: Cancellations will be accepted up to March 27 at midnight ($2.24 credit card fee applies), or you're welcome at any time to transfer your registration to someone else for free as long as they're at least 16 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 March 27 will not be refunded.
