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 the museum's 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. Make a square-to-round black ash gathering basket that measures approximately 5" tall x 6-9" in diameter. Everyone leaves with a finished basket. No experience is necessary.
