Make your own basket and in the process learn one of the oldest crafts
in human history. For thousands of years baskets served as
indispensable objects in every culture. Carry on the tradition and
take home a beautiful, durable and useful basket crafted from
responsibly harvested, hand pounded New England black ash logs. In
this 6-hour workshop you will weave a square to round basket,
approximately 6”x 6” with optional leather strap. How the material
is harvested and processed will also be discussed in the workshop.
Ages 10 to adult welcome.$79 WORKSHOP FEE DOES NOT INCLUDE
MATERIALS. A SEPARATE MATERIALS FEE OF $50 IS PAYABLE TO THE
INSTRUCTOR THE MORNING OF THE WORKSHOP.
We will have an hour break for lunch between Noon-1pm. Bring your own
lunch or check out one of the local restaurants in the area.

INSTRUCTOR BIO: Penny Hewitt is a craftsperson, teacher, homesteader,
and homeschooling mom. She lives with her family on a diversified farm
in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Through the curiosity of her
sons, she became fascinated with revitalizing and passing on
traditional skills, particularly in the forms of BLACK ASH AND BIRCH
BARK BASKETRY. Working with responsibly harvested and hand-processed
materials from the forest surrounding her home, she seeks to create
objects of beauty that are useful in everyday life. She is inspired by
traditions of other cultures, and grateful for the opportunities of
connection to people, place, nature, and self that her craft
cultivates. Her experience with weaving includes teaching WORKSHOPS,
leading homeschool groups, one on one lessons, volunteering time to
share skills, crafting for income and always looking for opportunities
to advance her skill set. Learn more at her website
