Program Description

Program Description

This class is an introduction to the art and craft of Round Reed Basketry. The class will begin with information about this particular weaving material, basic vocabulary (base, spokes, weavers), and weaving tools! Students will receive an individual kit containing both natural and hand dyed reed. In the kit there will be enough reed to create a basket by the end of this class. The instructor will lead students step by step from the vertical spokes which will create the "bones" of the basket, then "randing" or "twining" weavers in and out of the spokes. They will continue to weave with two or more weavers to create patterns, while shaping the sides to create a natural vessel known as a basket. This class is designed for ages 16+. Registration is required and begins on Tuesday, September 17th at 10am. Space is limited.
