Join Barbara Green of Adirondack Green House Basketry for an Adirondack Packbasket making workshop. Participants will weave a full-sized Packbasket, approximately 18” tall. They will make their packs in the same manner as original packs were made using reed rather than black or brown ash.

Los patines de madera maciza y la base interior de madera mantienen el arnés en su sitio. Habrá una selección de colores de arnés para elegir. La parte superior de la cesta se rematará con un asa cosida antes de aplicar el borde.

Una vez secos, se aplican el arnés, los patines y la base. Se enseñará a los alumnos cómo hacerlo. Después del taller, podrán teñir la cesta y los componentes de madera en casa y se les darán instrucciones con los materiales de clase.

Se proporcionarán todos los materiales (excepto el tinte) y herramientas.

Los participantes pueden traer comida, bebida y aperitivos para pasar el día. La entrada al museo está incluida en el precio del taller. (Tenga en cuenta que la realización de la cesta dura unas 7 horas).

Se recomienda llevar calzado cómodo.

Registered participants must meet in the ADKX Visitor Center at 9:00.

Sobre el artista:

Barbara Green: I discovered basket weaving as a hobby in 2007. While never very crafty, this called to me. I found something that brings me peace, yet challenges me regularly. Weaving allows me to be creative while creating something that is functional. Having spent most of my life in the Adirondacks, I find it important to know the history of the iconic Adirondack Pack Basket, and I find great joy in teaching others how to make their own. My baskets are made with reed rather than black or brown ash like the original pack baskets. Reed is highly renewable and durable. I learned on very basic tools and teach the same way. My harnesses are made by me, and the bases and skids are made from scrap lumber by my husband. I still travel to some craft fairs in the summer season, and my work can be found at The ArtHouse in Inlet NY from Memorial Day through Columbus Day.
