2009 sculpted basket workshops

The 2009 Sculpted Basket workshops will hold in the 2nd quarter of the year and it promises to be a better experience from the last one. We plan to involve more women and children. Last years own had only male crafts people and the few women who sculpted baskets were in the hinterland and could not make it to the workshop.

We also plan to involve more contemporary people in what we are doing.
The dates and times for the workshop will be announced subsequently.
