This is weaving around a mold, a skill that is transferable to other objects. This basket is formed around a half-gallon mason jar that is provided. (Once the basket is completed, the jar can’t be removed.) There will be lots of opportunities to customize the baskets by using ash strips and color. Beginners are welcome. You can do this.
