Saturday, April 13th 8:00 am - 5:00 pm in The Harvest Barn at Cold Spring Farm

Learn how to weave the basic shape of the Adirondack Backpack with instructor Sue Muldoon. Keep things hands-free while carrying your items in this lightweight backpack. We will make a medium-sized pack about 11” tall that is perfect for daily use, farmers’ markets and more. The backpack shape was established to fit in the curve of a canoe for stability and space-saving.

Once you learn the basic weaving skills, you can move on with your own projects, making larger or smaller backpacks. We will have all the materials prepared, including cotton straps.

Some skills students will acquire through completion of this course: over/under weave, continuous weave, twining, shaping and rimming.

Class fee includes all necessary materials EXCEPT clippers or scissors that can cut reed (floral shears work well).
