Basket Week at North House Folk School
Oct. 1 - 7, 2024
Join us for a gathering of basket-makers, both advanced and aspiring! Basketry embodies the soul of traditional craft: simple tools, natural materials and skilled hands result in purposeful, beautiful items. Birch bark, spruce root, pine needles, black ash—the northern forest has been generous to basketmakers, and we’ll explore a variety of techniques and forms.
This year, we're thrilled to welcome international guest instructor Steen Madsen back to North House. Steen is a remarkable basket maker from Ringstead, Denmark who has been weaving with willow since 1979.
