The Adirondack Pack Basket is one of the most recognized objects associated with the Adirondacks. This will be a two day event of weaving your utilitarian pack. By request Linda Scherz is back! With over 34 years of teaching experience, Linda will teach you how to weave your own Adirondack Pack. Her packs are patterned from traditional Adirondack Pack Baskets.

Students weave a plain weave base with the pre-cut spokes. Then learn to continuous weave the sides of the basket; level the top, cut and tuck, add a handmade oak handle, and complete the rim. Lastly, add an adjustable webbing or leather harness for carrying. This class will be fun for all weavers. Adirondack Basketry owner and instructor Linda Scherz will demonstrate, teach you weaving techniques and guide you while you weave your basket. Students will be using a drawknife with shave horse and other sharp tools.

Instructor will bring all materials to make the basket and tools students will need during workshop

Students should wear comfortable clothing.

Baskets will not be stained during class.

Materials Fee varies with size of pack.

Harness choice needs to be made two weeks prior to workshop to allow time for making

Webbing color options will be what is in stock at time of workshop.

Two Day Workshop Fee: $80.00 per person
