Class #14 – Summer Days Melon

The Summer Days Melon basket is woven with unpeeled willow. Students will choose two instructor-prepared and dried hoops. The hoops are attached with God’s Eye weaving. Ribs are added progressively into the weaving. This is a fun basket and shaping is on an individual basis for your own unique creation.
