Join us to learn beginning basket-making techniques with instructor Ronda Cassada. During this workshop, you will craft a traditional Appalachian rib basket with a God’s Eye center on the handle. The workshop includes a tour of the exhibition Counter/Balance to discuss creative concepts and be inspired by artworks on view.
Ronda Cassada is a self-taught basket maker with 30 years of experience and is a local resident of Buncombe County. Ronda holds an Associate of Arts degree and has been teaching absolute beginners to advanced basket-weaving classes in Asheville for the past five years.
