Meet Jenny Buttafuoco from Connecticut Valley Baskets LLC for a basket-making workshop!
Learn the artistry of weaving and create your own basket that measures about 4" tall and 6" wide.
There is a $5 materials fee (cash-only) for this class. Please bring this with you on the night of workshop.
From Jenny:
"The art of basketry first stole my heart in the summer of 2001. At the time it was a new art form for me to explore, one that I quickly came to learn was hard to find. I love the connection it provides us to the past and how useful, functional and beautiful they are. A well-cared for basket will last for generations.
Each piece I weave is woven from scratch. My materials arrive in a minimally processed state; I dye them by hand and weave them into baskets of various shapes and sizes without the use of molds. Although I was taught the very basics long ago, the vast majority of my techniques have been self taught by studying various photographs and baskets in living history museums."
