Tatter Textile — Basket Weaving Class

You know how small the world is? Small — but here is an example of how small it actually is. When we were trying to figure out if Thacher was the right school for Cruz or not, we were put in touch with a NYC parent who has kids attend Thacher. This woman, happened to be the owner of Tatter Texile. I had no idea what Tatter was, but when I told my mom, she explained that Tatter is a textile store / workshop / library that she takes a million of zoom classes from. So when this summer I became interested in basket weaving, my mom signed me up for a basket class AT Tatter. I loved every minute of it — not just making the basket, but meeting the owner (Jordana — lovely human), being crafty, and getting a taste of Tatter and its beauty! Tatter offers a slew of different classes in all different art forms — highly recommend checking it out!

 

The beautiful library – I LOVE the sofa.

The teacher instructing us how to make the basket.

The beginning part is the hardest!!!! So frustrating and hard. But then once you get it, BOOM, easy.

How it started out.

Adding more.

Getting the hang of it.

The class was 4 hours long.

And I left with a finished basket!

It definitely takes time, but is so fun, and I cannot wait to try a class again from Tatter, and make other baskets, too.

 

Highly recommend checking out Tatter, and also trying.a new hobby like basketweaving. Hope you are having a great week!
