    Description

    This class will introduce you to the basic techniques used to weave beautiful, round art baskets. Each class member will be guided in the creation of a one-of-a-kind basket to take home. We will cover base construction, spoke/up stake layout, twining, twill work, and triple twining. You will learn how to control the shape and color patterns of your basket, as well as different ways of finishing the rim. We will be working with hand-dyed and natural round and flat reed, which will be provided in numerous colors. Participants are encouraged, (but not required), to bring a plastic dishpan or tub and a pair of nippers (or strong scissors/garden snips/side cutters).

    No experience required. All materials included.
