Monroe Lake is hosting a coil basket weaving workshop at 10 a.m. Sept. 14 at Paynetown State Recreation Area as part of Salt Creek Valley History Week.

Participants will learn the traditional craft of coil basket weaving and make a miniature coiled basket of their own (about 5 inches in size) during the 75-minute workshop. They’ll also learn a bit about the history of basket making in the Salt Creek Valley area, which was known for another type of traditional baskets made from woven strips of white oak.

The workshop costs $10 and is limited to 12 people ages 13 and older. Registration is required at bit.ly/coiledbasket2022 by Sept. 11.
