(enough for ONE basket, but please note that we will NOT be following the inclosed instructions!)

OR

PLEASE NOTE: Shipping times vary, and I try to list this class with plenty of time for folks to sign up, place an order for material, and have it arrive in time... but I cannot be responsible for your supplies not arriving in time for class. Students without supplies are still very welcome to attend class and watch as I show the steps needed - but I cannot provide refunds if supplies aren't in hand. 

ADDITIONAL ITEMS NEEDED:
1 wash basin, sink, bucket, or plastic tote filled with water to soak reed in 
A towel to dry your hands on 
Sturdy craft scissors for cutting reed
2-6 clothespins 
A ruler, tape measure, or some other item to measure up to 12" 

DAY OF CLASS:
Please make sure to put your reed in a basin of water at least 30 minutes before the start of class so it has time to soften and become flexible! The basin should be something you can have near-ish to where you'll be working during class, so the reed can remain in the water when you aren't weaving with it. 

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Students will need to be able to safely use scissors.
