Saturday, March 21st - 9am-12pm Discover coiled basketry in this introductory workshop. Through demonstration and guided practice, you’ll learn to create a foundation, splice in new materials, adjust tension for shape control, and incorporate decorative stitching. You'll gain an understanding of how the components and their treatment influence the final result—allowing you to create baskets that range from sturdy functional pieces to sculptural works. By the end of the session, you’ll have the technical foundation, design insight, and creative direction to continue expanding your basketry practice. Participants may complete a small basket or begin a larger, more complex form to finish independently. Provided Materials: Core fibers, yarn needle, clothes pin, and reference handout. Materials Required: Note taking materials, 1 or more colors totaling 5-8 oz of Size #4 cotton, acrylic, or wool yarn - this is a great way to use scraps, scissors or thread snips, and a thimble (optional).
