Building an Appalachian Egg Basket

This almost-two-month class teaches students how to build an Appalachian Egg Basket. Students make hoops, weave rosettes to anchor the frame and then add ribs to build out the frame. The time frame of this class allows sufficient time for the willow weavers to dry and firm up.

While each two hour class will have a specific focus, there may also be time to practice already learned skills and begin construction of a second or third basket. The instructor will provide the natural materials needed for each of the first two meetings and then participants will be charged with gathering materials for completion of their baskets.
