Black Ash Berry Basket Making with Penny Hewitt

  • Mudita Massage & Wellness 69 Emerald Street Keene, NH 03431 (map)

Make your own berry basket and in the process learn one of the oldest crafts in human history. For thousands of years baskets served as indispensable objects in every culture. Carry on the tradition and take home a beautiful, durable and useful basket crafted from local and responsibly harvested, hand pounded black ash logs.

This is a great introduction to the extraordinary qualities of the black ash tree. Weave a square to round basket, approximately 6”x 6” with optional leather strap. Included is a discussion on how the material is harvested and processed.

Cost of registration is $125/person.
A $45 materials fee will be paid to the instructor on the first day of class.

Class will be held at Mudita and guided by Penny Hewitt of Lazy Mill Treecraft.
