Picnic Tote Baskets
Tuition: $175 | Materials: $60
What says leisure time more than a picnic basket?! A loaf of bread, bottle of wine, cheese, fruit and some pretty linens, and voila! You’re suddenly a person who reads the entire New Yorker while lounging in a grassy park! More info...
But first, you’ve got to learn to weave that picnic basket.
Join us for a full day of basket weaving, led by textile artist Brittany Stanton! Students will be introduced to the tools, process and techniques of basket weaving, beginning with how to prepare the rattan reed for weaving. Brittany will demonstrate the first steps of creating a sturdy base, moving on to weaving the sides, incorporating pattern, adding a rim and attaching leather handles. While students will leave with an object of true beauty (approx. 14” wide x 5” deep x 10” tall), Brittany maintains that this class is suitable for all skill levels.
The only prerequisite is a burning desire to picnic and the ability to handle extreme jealousy from other park-goers.
