This is a very large basket that will be woven over a wooden mold. It measures 16” x 22” x 13”. It’s perfect for laundry or to showcase your collection of quilts or pillows. I first wove this large storage/laundry basket on an antique basket mold found in New Jersey. On Saturday, you will measure and cut all of your spokes, lay out the base and then weave the sides. An assortment of reed sizes will be available so you can incorporate pattern and texture into your basket. You can also choose to incorporate color if you choose. Copper brads will be used to attach three sets of oak runners to the base for support. On Sunday, you will pack the basket, turn down the spokes and then add handles and rims. Lashing will tie the rims to the basket.
