Shoulder Pack

  • Dutchess County Fairgrounds • Rhinebeck, NY 6550 Spring Brook Avenue Rhinebeck, NY, 12572 United States (map)

Weave a useful over the shoulder carrying and foraging basket using rattan. This basket’s shape was designed to mimic the much larger Adirondack style pack baskets but simply has a single long leather strap to wear over the shoulder. As a great exercise in shaping, students will start by learning to weave a filled base and then work to shape their basket to create the desired result. The basket will be finished with a long leather strap, rims and lashing.

This basket is approximately 11” high at the back and about 6” across at the top.

Some experience is helpful but not necessary.
