Darke County Parks
hosts Basket Weaving 101!
This past weekend a full workshop joined Beverly Wiwi as she led
first-time weavers through the basket making process. Beverly has
been weaving baskets for 20 plus years and loves each and every basket
that she completes. She has made a variety of basket sizes anywhere
from tiny baskets for wall decorations to large baskets with/without
handles.
All who gathered for the session on Saturday were taught the proper
techniques and materials for making the perfect basket every
time. Some created baskets that were a little deeper, some added
a few rows of color reeds, and other participants finished their
baskets with an oak stain! By the end of the program, all in
attendance had completed baskets with their own personal touch.
