Basketry - Cathead Rattan 1F23

Challenge yourself to create an intricate woven basket in this 4-hour basket-weaving workshop.

The Cathead basket can be a bit challenging to shape as it requires much attention to detail.  Previous rattan experience is recommended.

This cute four-foot basket would be great in any room or on the table holding muffins.   It’s a 6”x6” woven base which extends out to a 10” diameter.

Join a creative, supportive craft-making space and build your weaving skills.

I took the wicker basket class with William, and I enjoyed it, so I signed up for the Cathead class.  While I know that I am never going to be an avid basket weaver, William is such a pleasure to learn from because his passion and knowledge about the craft comes through so clearly.  I come away from his classes feeling like I really learned something, and no matter how challenging the experience, I should hold my head up when walking away with my finished product. As long as William continues to offer classes at Eliot, I'll be signing up :-)

This workshop was both focused and fun - a rare combination. We learned a lot and there was great camaraderie.  William is an expert in this fiber art and an excellent teacher who builds confidence along with imparting knowledge!
