About this Class

About the Basket:

The Mule Skinner Basket is a great intermediate-level project featuring shadow weave with natural and dyed reed, a filled bottom, a beautiful bridle handle, and a double-lashed rim. Instructions included.

Base: 7 inches x 11 inches; Height: 14 inches.

With the adjustable leather mule bridle, made in Allen County, Kentucky, carrying your favorite gear is easy and comfortable. Hang it on your wagon or put it to work for your lifestyle today. Thanks to Joanne Dunaway, friend and fellow Kentucky basket maker, and to Lynne Marrs Hammer Ferguson, Artist in Residence, Kentucky Museum at Western Kentucky University, for their inspiration in developing this pattern.
