Class Description: We will be weaving a medium-sized red cedar basket, using a continuous twill and plaited pattern. The basket is a rectangle that measures approximately 3”x2”x.25” and can stand alone or be turned into a necklace. We will use quartz & Druzy crystal beads, along with seed beads, to embellish it. There will be opportunities to create your own designs as we go or weave it as shown.
