Discover the heritage and craft of traditional basket weaving in this hands-on Maine Potato Basket workshop. Known for their strength and utility, potato baskets were once essential tools on Maine farms—today they’re still prized for their beauty and functionality. In this full-day workshop, participants will create their own potato basket using natural materials—reed and wood—of various sizes, exploring traditional techniques including shaping the base, setting the spokes, and weaving the sides. Basket measures approx. 16.5” W x 14” H (w/handle). Students can use color reed to personalize their baskets. No experience necessary—perfect for beginners and experienced crafters alike.
