Class Description: This workshop is designed for students who are eager to learn the fundamental techniques of basket construction and weaving using Round Reed. During the class, you will receive hands-on instruction, live demonstrations, and expert tips for successful basket weaving. You don't need any prior experience in basket weaving; all you need is the desire to create a beautiful basket! We'll discuss how to add color and embellishments to your basket, and by the end of the workshop, you'll have completed one to two medium-sized baskets that you can take home and enjoy. To help you continue your basket weaving journey, you'll also receive a "goodie-bag" filled with fun goodies, additional reed, and an instruction booklet that covers everything you need to know to keep weaving baskets at home.
Required Skills: None, just the desire to weave a basket.
Students Should Bring to Class: Bring small needle nose pliers, a darning needle, strong scissors, 2 dish towels, and an apron (optional). Please do not feel that you have to go and buy any new tools, these should be items you have at home, and if not, we can share during the class.
Supplies Provided by Instructor: All the prepared round reed for 2 medium baskets (at least one you will finish in class), complete Instruction Booklet, resources, tips and tricks, live demonstration, personalized hands-on help and guidance, and a goody-bag of fun swag.
