Weave a Round Bottomed Basket Workshop (In Person) – 3/7/26
$35.00
Basket Weaving Workshop: Saturday, March 7, 2026, 1-4 p.m. at Canyon Presbyterian Church, Morgantown, West Virginia.
Take a break from late winter weather and learn a new skill! In this workshop, you’ll weave a round-bottomed shaker style basket with a notched handle. Finished basket will be 6″ in diameter and 8″ tall. This make-and-take workshop is perfect for 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. We’ll also enjoy some raspberry green tea and a sweet treat.
Please register here up to one day prior to the workshop. This class is limited to 10 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 16 years and beyond. See the full description below for additional information.

Do I Need to Pre-Register? Yes, you must pre-register and pre-pay.
When: Saturday, March 7, 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 pair of needle-nose pliers to pull the lashing through when adding the rim to your basket. I'll have small awls available to help when adding the rim, but you might also like using a Phipps-head screwdriver (optional).
Provided: 1) All the reed needed to complete one basket; 2) a written sheet of instructions to take home; 3) use of additional tools while in class; and 4) raspberry green tea and a sweet treat.
Class Size: The class will be limited to 10 people, so register early.
Cancellation and Transfer Policy: Cancellations with a refund will be accepted up to March 1 at midnight (a small fee will apply 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 March 1 cannot be refunded.
