Event Description

Pre-registration required!  Call 505-747-3577 or email: education@evfac.org - $85; $20 materials fee.

To Market, to Market. Any rectangular or square basket with a handle is known as a market basket. In this introductory level class, students will learn the techniques required and will complete (honest!) an 8” x 12” market basket. This is the pre-requisite for the Double Wine Basket class on March 31.

Irene has been making baskets and fiber vessels for over 30 years, and has many years’ experience in restoring Native American baskets for galleries and private collectors.  Irene maintains Metier, her fiber studio and gallery in Dixon, NM.  Since 1989 she has participated in the Dixon Studio Tour, exhibiting baskets and weaving.
