Students who wish to make their own basket during class time should purchase the following in advance:

(enough for ONE basket)

OR

(for the enthusiastic student this will provide enough material for several baskets)

*I am not affiliated with this company, but do use and reccomend their products.

PLEASE NOTE: Shipping times vary, and I've tried 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. 

ADDITIONAL ITEMS NEEDED:
1 wash basin, sink, bucket, or plastic tote filled with water to soak reed in (it should be in the area you'll be watching/working - not another room!)
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.
