Wrapping rocks in a quick, fun way to create a nature-based object of beauty.  The technique is based on ancient Japanese basket weaving. We have found it addicting to choose a smooth ocean rock and figure out the best way to embellish it with cane. Bring your own rock or choose from ours. Your rocks should easily fit into the palm of your hand. If you are patient, you can even wrap a tiny rock for a necklace. Materials fee of $5 payable to the instructor at class.

It requires more work than a regular basket, but is not extra difficult. It measures 8" x 15". Materials fee of $30 payable to the instructor at class.
