Learn to make an Onion Basket at Fibber Guild Meeting
Fonda Haddad of Mims will conduct a workshop, “Making an Onion Basket” at the April 25th meeting of the Space Coast Weavers & Fiber Artists. 10 a.m. at the Merritt Island Public Library, 1195 N Courtenay Pkwy.
An onion basket is a loosely woven, medium size basket made with #3 reed. It is an airy storage basket which lets the onions have circulated aiir..
There is a $15 supply fee for the workshop which includes all necessary supplies. Students should bring an old towel, and clippers if you have them. If we have time we will make a small garlic basket to attach to the onion.
