Spend the day making a black ash basket with knowledgeable carver and basket maker, John Wager.
Learn about the basics of weaving while you craft your own black ash basket in our Living Traditions Studio. You'll learn about black ash and the process of pounding splints while you work on your own project in a welcoming, fun environment.
