Berry Picking Basket Workshop

Join master Basket Maker Shannon Lucas Westrum for a hands-on basket weaving workshop! This workshop includes weaving a round base, adding upright accent spokes, lashing with cord, cutting, and riveting your own leather handle. Great for collecting berries and mushrooms, this piece has a lot of versatility.

The finished basket will measure 7″ across the base, 6 1/4” across the top, and 5” high (not including the leather handle).

Thanks to an Arts Education Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board awarded to Westrum, the participant cost for this workshop has been reduced by more than 60%, making this class only $30 to participate.

This event is also held at the Folk School Warroad the day before. See their site for more information. https://www.folkschoolwarroad.org

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts andcultural heritage fund obtained by the artist.
