Egg-Gathering Basket with Helen Condon

Over the space of a weekend (14 hours), participants will complete a Egg-Gathering Basket with instruction provided by Adirondack Rug Braider,  Helen Condon.  She will teach the traditional method of making a braided rag rug out of recycled materials.  Participants will learn how to take apart old woolen clothes and blankets and recycle them into beautiful handmade colorful traditional braided rugs and other items, including the completion of a braided basket.    Skills learned to make a basket are transferable to creating a round rug.

Pre-registration is required: $100.00 SRC members, $125 for non-members of the Schoharie River Center.  There will be a materials cost of $45.00 which includes all materials and equipment (twine, clamp, needle, and instruction booklet).  Materials cost for just the wool is $25.00.  

Please indicate your color choices when registering for the workshop.  Register on-line www.schoharierivercenter.org or call 518-875-6230.  The workshop is limited to eight participants.…
