In this class you will be weaving a Potato Basket also called a gathering or field basket of Appalachia. It was designed to withstand the abuse of being dragged along the garden rows or fields. The basket we will make will be a smaller version of the one used in the fields. This basket being 12” in diameter can be used as a bread basket at the dinner table or to sit on your countertop to store fruits or veggies in. A lunch break will be scheduled halfway.
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.
