Woven Melon Basket Workshop
September 13, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
$60.00
Join Sandi Moede and Sweetwater Flower Market in crafting a hand woven basket from start to finish. This sweet little basket is called a melon basket for its shape. It’s a ribbed basket and very easy for beginning weavers to make. It is 8 inches in diameter and has 2 wooden hoops for the rim and handle. Basket color is natural reed. Sandi will provide tips for staining it if you would like to dye the basket a different color. It’s perfect as a fruit basket or catch all basket by your front door or anything else you want to use it for. The basket is made of flat reed and is a sturdy basket that has multiple uses.
A complete basket can be made in a few hours (not sitting in a closet waiting to be finished!) and it will be something to be used and not just sit on a shelf collecting dust. And the joy and sense of accomplishment that YOU made this will make you smile!
Tickets are limited, so be sure to reserve yours today!

- A seat in our lovely studio

- A gorgeous 8in in diameter melon basket to take home!
Ticket cost: $60/person
