Raffia Baskets Workshop — Saturday, Jan 24, 2026 | 1:00–4:00 PM
Spend a relaxed, creative afternoon learning the timeless art of raffia basket weaving at Harbor City Art. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the coil-and-wrap basket-making technique using a beautiful, premium Raffia Baskets Kit by Flax & Twine, made with eco-friendly raffia sourced from Madagascar.
During the workshop, you’ll begin your first basket and learn the essential techniques needed to create strong, well-shaped forms. You’ll leave with the skills, confidence, and materials to complete up to three baskets at home at your own pace. Printed instructions and access to a detailed video tutorial are included to support you beyond the workshop, and you’re always welcome to stop back by the gallery for additional guidance.
About the Kit
The Flax & Twine Raffia Baskets Kit introduces you to basket weaving in an afternoon with an easy-to-follow pattern and video. Using a coiled and wrapped basket-making technique, the kit includes enough materials to create three beautifully coordinated baskets.
Each basket is thoughtfully designed to mix colors and shapes that work beautifully together—displayed as a set on the wall or styled individually. They’re sturdy enough to hold everyday essentials like keys, a wallet, or sunglasses, yet light enough to hang with ease.
Consider this technique your launching point for endless design possibilities. The detailed pattern and video guide you through every step and show how to play with color, shape, and pattern. Wrap with random color placement, intentional progressions, or simple alternating stripes to create three distinct baskets—and skills you can continue to build on.
What’s Included
Each kit provides materials to make up to three baskets:
3 × 50g Bundles of All-Natural Flax & Twine Raffia
3 × 50g Bundles of Madagascar Dyed Raffia
Sharp Darning Needle
Japanese-Style Clippers
14×17 Muslin Project Bag
Autumn Baskets Pattern & Step-by-Step Video
Measurements:
Random Colors Basket: 8.5” wide × 1.5” tall
Three Shapes Basket: 7.5” wide × 1.25” tall
Alternating Stripes Basket: 6” wide × 1” tall
Whether you’re a beginner or simply looking for a relaxing, hands-on experience, this project offers a cozy, creative escape in our welcoming gallery studio.
Space is limited to keep the experience relaxed and personal. Register early for the best selection of basket colors.
