Lanark Highlands Basketry Museum Alive and Well!

Jun 14, 2023

Visitors are welcome back to a season of workshops and exhibitions. The museum is open by appointment at anytime of the week, by phone. 613-278-1875.

In the loft of the museum, the present exhibition is of colourful waste paper baskets made with round reed.

The museum has expanded to include a new building - The Basketry Experience - which will be the space used for our summer workshops. From July to October, there will be a series on Gathering Wild Materials for Basketry - bark, roots, cattails and rushes, grapevine and willow. The focus is on  finding, storing and using  these materials.  Each workshop will also include a mini project.
