Join Barbara Green of Adirondack Green House Basketry for an Adirondack Pack Basket making workshop.

Participants will weave a full-sized Pack Basket, 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. The top of the basket is finished with a riveted handle before applying the rim.

Solid wood skids and an interior wooden base hold the harness in place. There will be a selection of harness colors to choose from.

The basket and wooden components are to be stained at home. When dried, the harness, skids and base are applied. Barbara will show how to do this at the workshop. Stain instructions are included in the handout.

• All materials (except stain) and tools will be provided.
• Participants are welcome to bring food, drinks, and snacks for the day. Museum admission is included in the workshop fee. (Please note that basket completion takes about 8 hours.)
• Comfortable shoes are recommended.

Spots are limited, and this workshop often sells out. Early registration is recommended.

Cancellation Policy:  All sales are final. There are no refunds for cancellations or no-shows. No rain checks due to weather. Programs canceled by the Adirondack Experience will receive full refunds.
