What You Will Learn

Join storyteller and basketweaver Jerry Falek and learn to make your own 8-inch ribs-style foraging basket made from reed in this half-day workshop. Designed with a sturdy oak frame and comfortable handle, this classic style is perfect for gathering mushrooms, berries, or garden herbs. You will walk away with a functional, hand-woven basket to bring on all your future foraging adventures. No prior experience necessary; all materials are provided.
