Human beings have been weaving baskets for millennia, combining practical utility with astonishing creativity. In a two part workshop on Friday June 5 and 6, we will explore different styles of basket construction as well as aspects of artistic design.
Starting with a round basket, students will practice basic basketry techniques by creating one finished piece that will be functional as well as beautiful.
Tuition includes a $10 materials fee. Additional materials fee may apply depending on the size of your project and your choice of materials. Bring a bag lunch on Saturday!
Workshop dates and times: Friday, June 5 from 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM and Saturday, June 6 from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Tuition: Members: $50; Non members: $55.
