Class #45 – Black Ash, Elm Bark & Braided Sweetgrass Basket – SOLD OUT

In 2018, I helped clean out closets and drawers after a dear friend’s passing. I was pleasantly surprised when I found an old Native American ash basket, hidden away in a drawer. It was gifted to me and became the inspiration for this creative basket. Students will learn a new round base with 14 spokes and weave with both blades of sweetgrass and black ash. You will create and weave your own design for the side of this basket using your own braided sweetgrass, black ash, elm bark, and cedar bark.
