In this 4-hour class, instructor Jenna Lechner will teach you how to create a 2.5" tall, 7" diameter basket, in a hexagonal open weave pattern. Working with flat reed, we’ll learn how to: weave in three directions (triaxial weaving) and do a basic lashing around the rim of a basket.

In the 1800s and early 1900s, larger versions of this basket were used in cheesemaking, as a way to drain cheese curds by the religious group the Shakers. Line your finished basket with a linen cloth, and it works great as a small serving dish for things like bread.
