1-800.FOLK.SCH (365.5724)

May 24-29, 2009 (Sunday-Friday Session)
Instructor: Beth Hester

Create several traditional-style Appalachian baskets using rattan materials and handcrafted white oak handles. Learn the basics of the egg basket (rib work), the market basket (plaiting), and the apple basket with swing handle (spoke construction). Carve ribs and rims and learn shaping as you create these three unique styles. Each basket is 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Weavers of all levels welcome—this is a great class for beginners.

Contact John C Campbell Folk School for registration information, housing, directions, etc. or go directly to Beth Hester's Class Page.

Located in scenic Brasstown, North Carolina, the Folk School offers year-round weeklong and weekend classes for adults in craft, art, music, dance, cooking, gardening, nature studies, photography and writing....read more

Join Jill and be part of her Lower 48 Tour in 2009.

Jill Choate

Jill Choate
made her way to Alaska in 1984 as a single woman with a love of the north. She now resides with her family in the bush community of Trapper Creek, approximately 150 miles north of Anchorage. The Choate Homestead is accessible by snow machine in winter and 4-wheeler in summer and equipped with all the modern "bush" conveniences like a hand pump and an outhouse.  Living in the shadow of Denali with a salmon stream in the front yard makes up for any lack of indoor plumbing.  

Jill began her adventures in antler fifteen years ago. She creates vessels by "talking" to the antler. Each contemporary design is a result of a discussion in shape and texture and the result is extraordinary. Learn more about Jill at http://www.jchoatebasketry.com/.
