Square Basket Making

At the Purple Crayon Studio in Woodfin, NC

November 21st, 2026

Have you always wanted to make your own woven basket? Or perhaps you’ve made some baskets but want to learn a new style?

In this fun, half-day workshop, you will make a 9” x 9” x 4” square basket that’s both beautiful and practical. You will make your entire basket out of all-natural reed, using different sizes to add a pattern.

During the class, you’ll learn how to lay out a base, twine, do over-under weaving, upset the sides of the basket, and lash on a rim.

This lovely little basket is perfect for holding dinner rolls, napkins, and other holiday dining essentials—or pretty much any smallish item your imagination can think of!
