Weave a Basket with Vines and Fabric 

Saturday July 19th, 2025 

UPDATE June 29th 

The workshop is currently full, but it is entirely possible that some spots will open up since it’s still several weeks away. The waitlist sign up is below! 

Ever wonder what you can do with all the vines taking over your backyard? Have a stash of fabric and yarn that has been waiting for the perfect project? If you answered yes then this basket is for you! During the workshop you will make a traditional Appalachian style egg basket with a twist– fabric and yarn will be woven in a vine frame to create a fun and colorful look. We will start with a grapevine frame with a four point lashing and then weave with fabric scraps, roving, and thick yarns to give the basket a soft but sturdy construction. There is a lot of room for your individuality to shine in this basket and everyone’s will turn out a different size and shape depending on the materials you choose to weave with. You will go home with a basket. instructions to create many more, and inspiration to continue weaving!

Wild harvested vines for the basket frame and a selection of fiber material is included in the materials fee. Students are encouraged to bring random fabric, old clothes, yarn (thicker is better) and roving to add to their basket as well.
