Upcoming Workshop

Basket Making Availability

One spot still open for our Salisbury Fancy Black Ash Basket workshop! This is a great opportunity to learn how to make a beautiful basket from master basket-maker Alice Ogden with materials naturally available in New Hampshire.

Salisbury Fancy Black Ash Basket

September 28-29

Instructor: Alice Ogden

An opportunity to work with some of the finest basket making materials New Hampshire offers. Already harvested black ash splints are used for weaving this heirloom treasure. White oak rims and handles are hand shaved using traditional methods. Basket size measures 12 inches x 10 inches x 5 inches in height.

Participants will learn the basic weaving skills used to weave the two widths of splints that create the simple design for the basket base and sides. Chase weaving is taught in class and then used in weaving the fine prepared splints that are woven for the sides. Rim and handle attachment is taught in class.

Prior experience weaving baskets is required.
