The class fee is $55.\n\nMade with quarter-inch reeds and finished with a half-round reed\, the medium-sized basket will be dipped in a black walnut stain after completion for preservation\, beauty\, and durability.\n\nThe instructor uses a lined version of the basket as a sewing room catchall\, but students can choose their own use for this versatile piece.
