These versatile baskets were used to carry just about everything the guides\, hunters\, and trappers took with them into the woods. This will be a weekend of weaving your utilitarian pack. Create your own utilitarian pack basket patterned from the traditional Adirondack Pack Baskets.  \nOn the first day\, students weave a plain weave base with the pre-cut reed spokes and then weave the sides. Linda will be guiding students as they concentrate on shape\, creating a belly while learning to continuous weave. The main weaving will be done the first day. The baskets will sit and dry overnight. On the second day\, students will pack baskets tight\, level the top\, weave a false rim\, cut and tuck spokes\, insert a handmade oak handle\, and fit the rim to the basket\, and lash rim. Lastly\, students will add an adjustable webbing or leather harness secured with skids. Linda will guide you and teach you many tips and techniques. Students will be using a drawknife and other sharp tools. Baskets will not be stained during class. \nThis class will be fun and accessible for all levels of weavers.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Skills + Techniques\n \n \n \n \n \n Students will learn: \n \n \n \n \n \n \nWeave a plain-weave base with pre-cut spokes\nCreate a belly while learning to continueous weave \nPack baskets tight\, level the top\nWeave a false rim and cut and tuck spokes\nInsert a handle\nFit the rim to the basket\nLash the rim\nAdd an adjustable cottno or leather harness secured with skids\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Instructor\n \n \n \n \n \n Linda Scherz \n \n Learn More \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tools + Materials\n \n \n \n \n \n Students should bring: \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAll tools and materials are provided\nStudents should be prepared to use a drawknife and other sharp tools\nComfortable clothing is recommended\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Material Fee: \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMaterials Fee varies with size of pack.\nHarness and Pack size choices must be made three weeks prior to class to allow time for making\nPack size choices: Hiker\, Sightseer\, Mountaineer\n\nHiker\n\nDimensions: 6” x 9” x 14”H\nWebbing harness $79.00\nLeather harness $105.00\n\n\nSightseer\n\nDimensions:  8 ½” x11” x 16”H\nWebbing harness $110.00\nLeather harness $158.00\n\n\nMountaineer\n\nDimensions:  9” x 12” x 20”H\nWebbing harness $129.00\nLeather harness $168.00\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n COVID-19 \n \n \n \n \n \n \nPlease read our COVID-19 Policy prior to registering\nWe are honoring each instructor’s specific COVID-19 safety requests.

Students will explore the vessel form through experimentation and invention. \nOn the first\, day\, students will explore the technique of creating sculptural wet felted vessels. Through wet felting techniques\, students will learn to create a sphere or round form and transform it into a vessel\, pod or bowl. Using the ancient process of wet felting\, wool can be transformed into many things. Our focus will be creating a 3D form using a flat circle or oval resist. We will create a using wool roving\, soap and water\, and a resist. This class is suitable for beginners as well as those with previous felt making experience. \nOn the second day\, students will explore the technique of random weaving. It’s not your traditional basket weaving! We will be experimenting with non-traditional techniques to create sculptural forms\, using various material from paper rush to plant material. Student swill be encouraged to use whatever material is suitable to create the desired form\, ex: bowls\, bag of rice\, crumpled paper bound with sticky tape. This is a workshop for those who like exploration and invention. This technique is mostly used to explore form and the unique qualities of the materials used. What you envision in the beginning may not be what comes to fruition but it will be a fun\, meditative process that can open up new ideas and avenues. Embellishment can include yarns\, raffia and colored electrical wire. We will start small and if time permits\, students may choose to start another piece.
