Join accomplished basket weaver Shannon Lucas Westrum for a creative and hands-on workshop where you’ll craft The Stationery Basket — a unique wall- hanging basket designed to hold an 8″ x 5″ notebook, complete with a woven pen holder.

This project challenges and inspires as you learn to shape a flat-back, curved-front basket. You’ll explore techniques like twining, lashing, and weaving with both flat and flat oval rattan, while focusing on form and function. Students will also add the pen holder after the basket is woven, giving a layered understanding of basket construction. Finished dimensions: approximately 12” high, 3” deep, and 8” wide

• Skill level: Some hand dexterity required.
• All materials and tools will be provided.
• There will be a 1/2hr lunch break on your own so pack a lunch or make a quick visit to a downtown restaurant.

Thanks to an Artists Engage Community Grant from the Region 2 Arts Council, participant cost for this workshop has been reduced by more than 2/3, all materials are included free of cost.
