On Saturday, July 27, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the Madison County Historical Society will host a Mini-Pack Basket Weaving Workshop taught by Sara Buss. Participants will learn basket weaving techniques to create a Mini-Pack Basket. The workshop is for beginner basket weavers interested in learning the techniques but unsure where to start and experienced basket weavers looking for a fun workshop. Artist Sara Buss will lead participants through the steps and basket weaving techniques from tapering scarfing and packing a basket tight to creating a Mini-Pack Basket (9” x 6” x 12” H).
Sara Buss, owner of Buss N' Stuff has been making handwoven baskets since 2021.
