Master Basket Weaver Mary May has been teaching and making baskets for nearly 20 years. Her focus is weaving traditional New Jersey baskets such as berry baskets, pound fish baskets, eel fykes, pack baskets, and market baskets.
She has designed a special Fishing Creel Weaving Workshop specifically for Morven in celebration of our exhibition In Nature's Realm: The Art of Gerard Rutgers Hardenbergh.
Students will learn a bit about the lore and NJ history behind the craft of basket weaving and create a traditional-style fishing creel with a wooden lid and leather strap. Approximate size is 9"x 5"x 5" and may be used for fishing, fun, or fashion.
