Winter Weaving: Basketmaking Workshop

Weave Your Own Adirondack Basket

Sunday December 6· 9:00 AM–4:00 PM (approx. 6 hrs depending on which basket you select)

The Creative Jam — 6 State Route 149, Lake George, NY (behind the Log Jam Restaurant)

Learn traditional basket-weaving with natural materials and leave with a finished basket you’ll actually use—handmade by you in our cozy log-cabin studio.

Thank you to the Creative Jam Foundation for Flexible Ticket Tiers!

Creativity should be within reach for everyone! We offer four ticket options for each basket style: Pay-What-You-Can, Regular, and Pay-It-Forward — all include the same instruction, materials, and creative magic. Choose the tier that best fits your budget or your heart; every ticket supports The Creative Jam Foundation’s mission to make creativity accessible for all.

Choose Your Project (Regular ticket price shown):

Every basket is offered on a sliding scale—pay what works for you and help support creative access for others if you’re able.
