Mule Skinner Basket Workshop
A Lasqueti women (or man) should never be too far away from their Mule Skinner Basket. This fairly large, wild cherry bark basket is rectangular in shape with a heavy leather strap. Like the gathering basket, it's very useful in the garden, at the market, or for pot-lucks. The Mule Skinner strap itself (in the basket makers catalog) was $30.00, so I've buying collecting heavy leather used belts from the S. O. S. from between $3.00 to $7.00. You can buy one from me, or you can bring something that you already have, that would work for a strap.
I think this basket will take us two days, but, some may finish in less time. Please bring scissors, garden clips, a measuring tape, a small soaker bucket, and something to share for a pot-luck lunch.
When: Friday, July 26 and Saturday, July 27
Where: Dazy's place
Cost: $65.00 all materials included (except leather strap)
