Basket-Making Workshops with Ray Lagasse
The Library Arts Center is proud to offer these exceptional artisan basket-making workshops with artisan Ray Lagasse. Students will spend a day in the studio learning this traditional craft and will leave with a fabulous heirloom-quality basket to keep or give as a phenomenal gift. Workshops are typically offered monthly in the Arts Center studio.
