Description
On October 8 and 9, 2018, the Meskwaki Natural Resources (MNR) hosted their first ever round basket making class. The class was a two-day event that provided participants hands on instruction in the techniques of building a round, simple-handled berry basket. The group was led by instructor Toni Lasley, who has been crafting woven baskets for many years.
Source-Dependent Questions
