Join Susan on November 19th at the Folk Art Center Boardroom for a day of learning and creating. In this class, you will be crafting a round table tray basket. This basket is relatively easy and fun to weave and is created to last a lifetime! Consider joining the class with a friend, or come alone and make friends as you learn! To register, call or text Susan at 828-284-5524 Fee: $95 - includes all materials, tools, and supplies. About the Instructor Susan is a native of the coal mining village of Shady Spring, West Virginia. As a child, she watched her mother, Mae Alice Taylor, weave functional baskets. In 2002, after back surgery limited Mae's mobility, it was time for mother to pass to daughter her precious knowledge of the art of basket weaving. Susan describes that time as "finally coming home".
