The Adirondack Pack Basket is one of the most recognized objects associated with the Adirondacks. This will be a weekend of weaving one or more packs. Pick a size or two. Create your own pack basket patterned from traditional Adirondack pack baskets.
Students weave a plain weave base with the pre-cut spokes. Then learn to continuous weave the sides of the basket; level the top, cut and tuck, insert the handle, and complete the rim. Lastly, add an adjustable webbing or leather harness for carrying.
This class will be fun for all weavers. Linda will demonstrate, teach you weaving techniques and guide you while you weave your basket. Students will be using a drawknife with shave horse and other sharp tools.
