Join artist Angela Eastman and learn to weave your own storage basket! This sweet and simple hanging basket is perfect for storing garlic and onions in the kitchen, and offers a great introduction to basketweaving through the technique of twining with reed. This class is open to all levels, and students will leave with a finished basket of their own and instructions to make more at home.
