Simply Country Basket Class with Jean Reed

Description

Join us at Murray Hill Weaving, 685 Murray Hill Road Hill, New Hampshire 03243 on Friday, July 18th, 2025 from 8 am to 5 pm for a Simply Country Basket class. In agreement with the Meredith Fine Craft Gallery, this class will be taught at Murray Hill Weaving shop in the country setting of Hill, NH. Spend a day with me and master the art of basketry. We call this our Simply Country basket because of the simplistic design and country charm but don’t let that fool you because this very strong, sturdy, and versatile basket serves many purposes. Perfect for gathering fruit or sitting on the table as a decorative piece, this basket will fit any home décor. The strength of this basket is in the solid wood base. It is a great basket for the first time weaver to start with or a relaxing project for the more experienced. No previous weaving experience is required. No special weaving tools are required. Students must bring: A spray bottle, heavy duty scissors, hand towel, and tape measure. Don’t forget a brown bag lunch and a good sense of humor! Tuition is $140 per student which includes all materials. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Those who wish to attend MUST sign up by Tuesday, July 15th.
