Classes offered in plaiting, rib basketry, wicker and twining. I also carry a full line of natural, smoked and colored reeds, handles, dyes and stains. As well as embellishments, weaving materials and books. I also have baskets from around the world for sale as well as Alaskan made baskets. The technique can later be used to weave baskets using almost any plant material.
