SUMMARY:Cat Head Basket Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Cat Head Basket Workshop\nwith Dona Nazarenko\nSaturday\, July 26th\, 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 Dona Nazarenko from Country Spirit Baskets. When making this basket you are using natural and dyed reed as this is a more modern style of the Traditional Shaker Cat Head basket. Shaping this into a Cat Head can be tricky as the sides will increase then to reach the rim area the rows must decrease in size. This is a beginner friendly class and Donna creates a pre-fabricated kit for each participant. You will leave the workshop 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.
