Mixed Level Nantucket Basket Weaving
with Marcy Wemple (S26)

These classes are full. Please call the Education Manager to be put on a waiting list.

Classes will include an introduction to tools, step-by-step weaving instruction, and tips for creating a beautiful basket. Beginning students will weave a 5.5-inch round coaster (small basket) that is perfect for displaying on tables or holding treasures – a textbook example of the intersection between form and function. The round coaster is the classic starting place for many weavers because it is a lovely size and shape. Everyone will be able to proudly display heirloom baskets at the end of our eight-week session. Once you make one of these baskets, you will most likely make many more. No experience needed.

Intermediate students may work on baskets of their choice with guidance from the instructor. Please connect with Marcy before the classes start to ensure you have all the materials you need. Her information is in the membership book.
