Forest Quiver - Augusta, Maine

  • Viles Arboretum 153 Hospital Street Augusta, ME, 04330 United States (map)

Join us for a creative and rewarding day of traditional basket weaving in this Quiver Basket Workshop. The quiver basket—tall, narrow, and often carried over the shoulder—is both beautiful and functional, originally used for carrying arrows, tools, or kindling. Today, it makes a striking wall piece or a unique holder for dried flowers, walking sticks, or umbrellas.

This woven rattan basket quiver is a natural color and darker smoked reeds, that give the impression of a deep forest. Students can use color reeds to personalize the basket.

It measures approximately 22″ tall with a 3.5″ inside diameter. A wood cookie is placed at the bottom of the quiver base to protect it from damage caused by arrowheads or other tools.

This is a beginner-friendly class; no prior experience required
