Learn to weave a traditional Appalachian egg basket, using both round and flat reed. No experience is necessary. The shape of this basket keeps eggs from rolling around so you can carry them safely without breakage. This basket is perfect for those who raise chickens or for anyone who wants to have a beautiful, handmade basket to display in their home or give as a gift.

In this class you will learn how to make an “ear” with the handle and rim where the ribs will be placed; how to space the ribs so that you create the traditional shape and weave with the over/under pattern that forms the sides and bottom of the basket. Although you will not be staining the basket in class, the instructor will explain how it is done.
