Baskets were not only used for functional purposes such as catching and storing food and other items. Baskets were used in ceremonies and served as displays of Cherokee culture and tradition. They were also vessels for artistic expression. In this class, participants will learn about the craft of Cherokee basketry and practice weaving techniques. Participants will leave with a traditionally-designed woven mat. Sarah Thompson is a third-generation basket maker, and enrolled member of the Eastern band of Cherokee Indians. She has worked for both the Cherokee Historical Society and the Museum of Cherokee Indians. All materials are included for the workshop.
