(Age 18+) Get ready to craft the timeless Square Country Market Basket, a beautiful reproduction inspired by the classic baskets of yesteryear. For centuries, woven market baskets have been an essential tool for carrying goods, and this one will follow in that tradition—simple, functional, and full of charm.
Once finished, your basket will measure about 10″ x 10″ with a solid, filled base. We’ll also add a sturdy hardwood push-in handle, making it strong enough to handle your market finds. Best of all, we welcome weavers of all skill levels to join us in creating this timeless piece!
