The class will be creating a Hen Basket. This basket was thought to have originated in Scotland, where it was said they carried live hens to market. The basket is made using 3 round hoops with on handle in the center. Students do not need to have prior experience in order to complete this project. The instructor will teach this basket from beginning to end! Each participant will come away with information on Appalachian Baskets, their origins, and their uses. Information will be provided on how to order supplies for future baskets.
Kathy Dulaney is a native of Floyd County and has been weaving baskets and teaching classes for 35 years. Weaving mostly older Appalachian style baskets, she strives to keep the tradition alive by teaching younger folks the art. If you make a basket in one of her classes you can be sure that it will be something you can use. Each basket was designed for a specific purpose and Kathy stresses the usefulness of each in her classes.
