Students will be provided with prepared white ash splint cores and prepared willow skeins. The cores will be wrapped with skeins in a variety of skeins and colors. French hook wires will be provided. The Crocane is a classic French oval arm basket, made of buff willow. There is an optional foot on the bottom of the basket, depending on time.
All materials are supplies in the fee.
A full-size traditional backpack basket made of brown willows. A large split-stick oval base is staked up, followed by waling, randing, top waling and a large border. A roped handle on the back is optional. The basket is not made on a mold, so the workshop will concentrate on shaping. Custom cloth straps are included in the Materials Fee.
