Slow Craft Workshop: Basket Weaving with Baling Straps

5 - 8:30 p.m.  Thursday, Feb 6

Seed Lab, 111 W 6th Ave, Anchorage, AK 99501

In-Person Event

Ever wondered what to do with materials you often see discarded or lying around? Since 2012, Hawai'i-based artist Gaye Chan has foraged plastic baling straps and developed a weaving technique to make containers while learning an essential 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. Part of Slow Craft Week, a series of workshops highlighting slow craft, repair and community. 

Free. Registration required.
