""Thank for an extremely educational and fun-filled experience at the pack basket workshop. The best thing about the class was that you never doubted my ability at handling a knife, drilling, sawing or weaving. I would recommend this class to anyone, Tim will make the experience memorable and enjoyable. Thank you Tim, I think I found a hobby of my own!"

Janice Watson, New Hampshire

        We schedule one of these workshops each year, but usually run several of them as private courses. We work with the person or group who wants to take the class and arrive at dates that work for both parties. The $250 tuition is for a basket made from reed and the course lasts two days. If you're interested in learning the process for harvesting and processing brown ash for baskets, let us know and we'll alert you to when we're doing it.

        Participants will learn the entire process of building a pack basket. Steps include:

• Setting up the basket form
• Setting up the bottom
• Weaving the basket
• Letting the basket dry
• Folding over the verticals
• Putting on a rim
• Making and attaching the base and legs
• Putting on the shoulder straps
