The finished basket will be about 18" tall, and has a wooden base and skids for sturdiness and to hold the straps in place. It has a handle for an easy pick up when needed.

Instructor: Deb Halstead
Deb has been crafting and creating for as long as she can remember. More than 30 years ago, she took her first basket-making class and quickly fell in love with both the creative process and the finished pieces. Before long, she began selling her baskets in a local shop and teaching classes to share her passion with others.
In addition to her fiber and basket arts, Deb has embraced a homesteading lifestyle for many years, working toward greater self-sufficiency by raising chickens and tending gardens filled with vegetables, herbs, and flowers. She enjoys sharing her knowledge, creativity, and love of handmade crafts with her students.
