Pagoda Lidded Basket Workshop

Using reed and wire, create a stylish and storage-friendly basket with a lid during this intermediate basket weaving workshop. This lidded Pagoda basket features a 5” woven Cathead base. The basket and lid are accented with grey reed, flat silver wire, and 2 silver hoops serving as handles on the basket. You will weave the sides in traditional start stop rows with a special emphasis on shaping to achieve the unique Cathead shape. After finishing with a traditional lashed rim, you will learn to create a round reed woven ledge for the lid to rest on. You will weave the lid using a Triple Twine method to suit the size of your basket. The completed basket measures approximately 7″ Diameter x 7″ Tall. Please note the class fee is $95 payable upon registration, in addition to a $60 materials fee paid directly to the instructor on the day of the workshop.
