A frequent way anti-intellectual dullards refer to a “useless” college degree is throwing out an imaginary major like, say, underwater basket weaving. But here’s the thing: It’d be really hard to weave a basket underwater! Honestly, I’m impressed by someone weaving a basket on dry land, which is what Melissa Knight will be teaching at this week’s grownup craft night. Learn coil weaving techniques using raffia (dried and dyed grass) to make a small basket in this lesson great for beginners and experts alike. Who knows? Once you get the hang of above-sea-level basket weaving, underwater’s the next logical place to go. – James Scott
