About the event

The Glidden Homestead is proud to present "Past Times at Glidden" series, in which we'll honor America the way our site knows it best -- hands-on innovation!


Join us for this hands-on workshop at the Homestead, where history and craft come together. You'll weave your own small market basket, learning a skill once vital to daily life. Learn from expert instructors from Drake Baskets and weave your very own Small Market Basket! You can customize your basket with colorful reed to match your decor.


All materials will be provided. Bring your curiosity and leave with your handcrafted basket—a tangible link to our rich past. The cost of the class will cover your materials and supplies, with proceeds supporting the museum. Tickets can be purchased here.
