Programs

Students create a Cherokee double-wall basket from natural reed with instruction from Cherokee citizen and artist, Laura Borders. She will demonstrate the mechanics of weaving a Cherokee basket. Then, each student creates their own unique basket with the option of using hand-dyed reeds to incorporate the element of color and design into their basket. No experience is necessary in this introductory workshop. A kit fee of $40 (payable to the instructor in cash at the beginning of the workshop) provides everything you need to create a small basket. No experience is necessary – all skill levels are welcome. NOTE: This is a wet process; students should bring a towel from home and perhaps an apron.
