In this workshop, relax with us to create a hand-woven basket using natural processed sustainable materials including repurposed and recycled twines, raffia, Sari silk ribbon, and yarns allowing for decorative upcycling. Under guidance from Leisa, weave your basket using a blend of Indian traditional inspired and contemporary weaving techniques. You'll leave with new-found weaving skills, lots of creative fun had, and your own basket too. No experience is needed.
