Basketry - Willow Market/Bicycle Basket

This willow basket is designed for your bicycle or to be used as a market basket. Its dimensions will be 9 inches high x 10 inches wide x 15 inches long.  We will use local willow (provided by the instructor) for this project.

The oval base is an easy base to work with.  Weaves will include twining, 3-rod wale and French randing.  A 4-2 border will be used.

Participants will have the following options for handles:
1.  a rigid willow built-in handle (traditional market basket);
2.  a swing webbing handle (cross body basket); or
3. velcro straps to attach to handlebars (bicycle basket).
