For a while, chronic illness took away my energy for crafts, but I've started to feel interested again. I took a basket making workshop last weekend and just fell in love with the process of stripping willow bark, processing other plant fibers, making cordage... A craft where I didn't have to buy anything! The materials would have been waste if I hadn't used them, and it can be tossed in the compost bin if I don't want it anymore. #EartHandGleaners #BasketWeaving #Vancouver #MultipleSclerosis

To make a long story short, I am forty-two, and for most of my life, I have been interested in the so-called blind trades, both for pleasure and as genuine crafts. These include chair caning, mat making, basketry, broom making, rug weaving, yarn weaving, bookbinding, soap making, pottery, etc. I didn't include brush making because that requires a real workshop and can be dangerous from what I've heard. Likewise, piano tuning takes many years to learn, though i believe there is a school for that. I wrote to many blind schools asking for assistance, guidance, or even some general advice, but none wrote back to me. I contacted a mainstream basket weaver, but although she was nice, she couldn't help me. I found a very good series on broom-making on Youtube, though I must check to see if it's still there. The problem with many videos is that they explain things in a visual way i.e. "look at the diagram", "follow what you see me doing here", or the hosts talk while they're doing an important step that they're not describing, etc. Regardless, I started learning chair caning, but the place was far from my home, and I kept having issues with paratransit, so I had to stop. I have, however, made soap using the melt and pour method several times, and I've worked on both a lap loom (made of cardboard many times), an inkle loom once, and used a potholder kit at least once. I've also taken several pottery classes, but to go beyond air-dry clay or the type that can be baked in a home oven, it's necessary to have a kiln, which is prohibitively expensive.
Having said all of that, has anyone here ever been involved with any of these, or perhaps something I didn't mention? If so, was/is it as a hobby or to sell crafts? Where were you taught and how i.e. all hands-on, or with books, manuals, etc? If you sold/sell them, how did/do you do so i.e. through a workshop or factory, at a traditional flee market or craft fair, online via Etsy or Ebay, or do you have your own site? Would you be able to give me any general tips or advice regarding your craft?

#RiverheadNY - Long Island #FleeceAndFiber Fair at #Hallockville #MuseumFarm
May 16 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Hallockville Museum Farm
6038 Sound Avenue
Riverhead NYAdmission is $10 for adults; children 12 and under are free.
"Hallockville Museum Farm will host its annual Long Island Fleece & Fiber Festival on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. inviting visitors to experience the full journey of fiber – from raw fleece to finished textile — at its historic North Fork campus.
"A longtime spring tradition, the festival brings the cycle of fiber to life through live sheep and llama shearing with Long Island Yarn and Farm, #spinning, and #weaving demonstrations, along with a #marketplace featuring more than two dozen regional #FiberArtists and #Artisans.
"A major highlight this year is the appearance of nationally recognized #knitting expert Patty Lyons, who will lead two special sessions focused on practical techniques and problem solving for knitters. Additional hands-on workshops include an introduction to weaving with the #PaumanokWeavers, where participants can create their own scarf; a flat #NeedleFelted farm landscape workshop led by Shamma Murphy; and #BasketWeaving with Barbara Blossey-Chuvalas using #NaturalMaterials such as #silk, #seagrass, and #wool. Advance registration is required for workshops.
"In addition to demonstrations and workshops, visitors can explore a variety of family-friendly activities, including a children’s #craft area, agricultural displays, and opportunities to meet the farm’s animals. Attendees are welcome to bring their #FiberArts projects to work amongst like-minded creators.
" 'The Fleece & Fiber Festival connects people directly to the traditions that shaped life on the #NorthFork,' said Executive Director Heather Johnson. 'It’s a chance to see, touch, and learn skills that were once part of everyday life here and that continue to inspire #makers today.'
"The festival also features live music by the Old Time Jam, local food vendors, and a bake sale hosted by Hallockville Bakers."

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🧺✨ #Basketweaving is an ancient #art, and while materials change, the fundamental techniques remain consistent across cultures.
In #Maine, maker Little Salty Rope uses the same polypropylene rope lobster harvesters use to haul traps, weaving it row by row on a circular peg jig. The #video shows how vertical stakes hold the form until the basket becomes self-supporting.

A pack basket is a traditional type of backpack used for carrying items while hiking, hunting, or for general outdoor activities. Pack baskets have a long history dating back centuries and have been used by various cultures around the world. Here in Maine our Maine Guides walked the woods with these packs to transport supplies and game through rugged terrain.
In this course, we will weave a 10-12” tall basket with premium reed. We will go over the history of pack baskets and what materials have been used. The instructor will go through the process of making the basket step-by-step ensuring all will walk away with a finished basket. The baskets will have a base and feet along with pack straps. We will bring a variety of color straps and even color reeds to add a little color to your basket. Walk away with a pack basket and the knowledge for life! All level weavers are welcome EVEN if you have never weaved!"
