Craft & Mingle: Weave a Basket 1S23
Age Group:
Adults
We're celebrating Pride Month with craft! Come create and mingle with queer singles in Boston.
In this workshop, you'll learn basic weaving techniques to create your own wicker wall-basket, while connecting with other local, single creatives.
You'll learn to work with rattan and what defines a wicker basket. This simple basket will not only add to your home but can be used to hold/display small items.
No prior experience necessary; hand-weaving is a great craft for beginners and experts can assist their fellow singles in learning the ropes!
Weaving not your thing? Join in just to chat and connect.
Tuition covers all supplies and instruction.

William Krier
Born and raised among the Amish community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, William Krier developed an interest in the art of basket weaving and has been practicing this art since the 1980's. He enjoys the challenge that wicker basketry brings. Using a variety of agents from commercial dyes to nut hull stain to teas, William dyes and stains all of his own reed.
Weaving traditional baskets using bright colors is William's way of contemporizing the art of basket making.
