Outdoor School: Basket Weaving for Beginners (Ages 12+) – Dates TBA
THIS IS A 2.5-DAY COURSE
Dates: Summer class schedule coming soon!
Cost: $85.75 per person
Ages: 12 and up, all skill levels welcome
Location: Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
Your very own handmade basket: it’s beautiful, highly functional, and can be made using simple materials. The first part of the class will be spent preparing the reed for your basket and designing the basket shape and style. Next, you’ll weave the basket and finish it with a rim, and design if you choose. The finished basket will be a beautiful and utilitarian piece of your home. It’s a classic project you’ll enjoy for years to come. Note: this is a physically demanding course; students should be prepared to use their hands and be on their feet. Expect to be a bit tired at the end of each day!
All skill levels welcome, no experience necessary.
Class topics will include:
- Experiencing nature and the outdoors in an all new way.
- Learning a new skill, craft, or experience.
- Opportunities to take advantage of the Colorado wilderness.
