Learn one of the oldest crafts in human history as you make your own pack basket. You’ll create a beautiful, durable, and highly functional basket from local, responsibly harvested, hand-pounded black ash logs. Craft a daypack-sized, traditional Adirondack-style pack basket with cedar runners and a cedar base, finished with adjustable webbing straps. You’ll also take part in discussion and demonstration on how the material is harvested and processed.

Supplies: Cost of materials $80, payable to instructor
