In this class, you will learn how to start your project by working into a slip knot to make a circle and how to increase to make a circle. You will learn an advanced level, a naalbinding stitch, and how to count stitches. We will make a small basket.

You will need a working knowledge of naalbinding using the Mammen stitch, either from our beginner class or previous experience.

You can bring your own supplies of wool yarn that felts, worsted to bulky weight, and a naalbinding needle. Needles and yarn are available for an additional $25 if needed.

This two-day workshop gives you the opportunity to build two brooms from start to finish. We start both brooms the same by wrapping a core onto a handle. After that we will finish one with woven stems and the other by plaiting with basket reed or with cut corn stems. Then we will stitch them to finish. Beginner – advanced class.

In these sessions, students will learn the fundamentals of basket weaving and create their small own basket to take home. The first week will focus on laying out the base and shaping the sides. In the second week, we will finish weaving our baskets and learn to lash on a rim. 

The perfect place to dive into broom making! This class begins with the basics - whisk brooms and cobwebbers - and builds up from there. Students will get hands-on experience with several types of brooms, including hearth brooms, turkey wings, kitchen brooms, and more. Each project introduces new techniques, so students will grow their skills (and their broom collections!) with every step.
