SUMMARY:Berry Basket Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Berry Basket Workshop\nwith Doña Nazarenko\nSaturday\, June 14th\, 2025\n9:00 am – 5:00 pm\nEnfield Shaker Museum \n447 NH Route 4A \nEnfield\, NH 03748 \nJoin us in the Great Stone Dwelling for a day of basket weaving with Doña Nazerenko of Country Spirit Baskets. By the end of the class you will have created a Shaker-style berry basket\, perfect for the start of berry season. Woven with natural reed\, this has an attached Shaker tape or leather strap to carry around or on the shoulders. All materials come in a pre-fabricated kit made by Dona that you will use during the class. Using a plastic bag or insert while berry picking will prevent juice staining and keep the basket in good condition. When not berry picking remove your plastic bag or container and use for your hobby\, craft or garden needs. This is a beginner friendly workshop\, so you will leave with a completed basket. \nWho is Doña Nazerenko? \nResiding in Tunbridge\, Vermont\, Doña Nazarenko has been weaving since 1988 and teaching since 1994. While living along the New Jersey coast\, Doña developed an interest in woodcrafts and related art forms that developed into her desire to take basket making classes in 1988. \nHer exploration of a different art medium has since evolved into a flourishing talent. She now enjoys making traditional baskets using reed with wooden accents to more challenging baskets using birch bark from the area surrounding her current residence in rural Vermont. \nThe highlight of the early years at her craft was having a one-on-one critique with John McGuire at Peter’s Gallery in 1992. His confidence in her and his discretion continues to help her with her current work. Today she can be seen demonstrating basketry representing Vermont fiber artists at local and out-of-state events. \n*Please bring your own lunch. Water and light refreshments will be provided. \nCost: \nMembers – $72 \nNon-Members – $82 \n*All proceeds go to the educational mission of Enfield Shaker Museum. \nComing from a distance? Stay at the historic Great Stone Dwelling. Check our room availability here.
