(Sold Out) How To Survive Workshop: Basket Weaving with Baling Straps

This event has ended. It was scheduled for 6/19/2024.

10:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. Wednesday, June 19

First Floor, Education Wing, Reynolds Room

In-Person Event

Since 2012, Hawai'i-based artist Gaye Chan has foraged plastic baling straps and developed a weaving technique to make containers while learning a basic skill practiced around the globe: basket-making. Chan’s basketmaking practice extends the life of an otherwise single-use material through craft and skill sharing. 

Join us for a basket-making workshop for adults and mature teens led by museum staff trained in Chan’s technique. Materials provided. Free; Registration required.

Note: Can’t make this session? This workshop is part of a series of basket-making workshops, in connection with our exhibition, How to Survive. Keep an eye out for future dates.
