This is a FANTASTIC Native American basket that is herringbone woven on the spiral. The rim is very unusual! This can hide a vase or be used to hold knitting needles, paint brushes, dried flowers, and kitchen utensils etc. LOVELY and a bit challenging. Dimensions are approximately 5x5x8. NOTE: This is an ADVANCED weaving class open only to those who have taken a minimum of 5 classes with Joan.
