Saturday, July 27, 2024. 1-5 pm - Beginner and Intermediate Class

I'm changing things up a bit. This class is for first-time beginners and returning students who want to refresh skills and learn more control.

Explore your creativity and connect with our maritime location while learning to make your basket from recycled crab fishing rope. You will be provided with materials and up-close instruction by Beach Basket creator and artist Susan Spence. These small, friendly classes are held in the Marie Powell Gallery and Workshop, overlooking the picturesque Port of Ilwaco and the Ilwaco fishing fleet.

If you would like to review a basic single crochet stitch (the stitch we use for our baskets) go to you tube and search for 'beginner single crochet stitch'. It isn’t necessary but it will make things a bit easier. If you have a stick, your own rope or anything you would like to incorporate please bring it along.

Please note:
Making baskets is strenuous on the hands.
Instruction is given for right handers (I just can’t seem to reverse the process).
A non-compete is required.
Payment is due upon signup.
Non-refundable 2 weeks before class.
