Sarita will demo the tools, materials, techniques, and approaches she uses to twine arched baskets. Day one, we will cover prepping reeds for spokes and weavers, twining, starting an circular bottom basket, and backwards twining wedges. Day two we will explore finishing the lip of the basket and have a show-and-tell. Other materials/media for twining and surface will be briefly discussed. No experience necessary. This class is designed to focus on a learned skill rather than a final product and the possibilities are endless! Time outside of class may be needed to finish your basket.
Materials:
All materials are included. Each student will receive reed to work with in class and to take home for continued exploration. Handouts and pre-recorded technical videos will be provided.
