This accessible one day workshop invites weavers of all experience levels to engage with the ancient craft of basketry through a thoroughly practical project. First-time basket makers will discover that this traditional skill is well within reach, while experienced crafters can explore new techniques and color patterns.
Weaver and educator Annie Niedergang will guide students through the process of forming the shape of their bag, measuring and cutting stakes and learning the fundamental over-under weaving pattern that gives structure to nearly all woven baskets. Working with high-quality rattan in a variety of natural and dyed colors, students will have the opportunity to create simple geometric patterns or work in solid tones.
Each student will complete a finished cross body basket ready for seasonal adventures – Annie will also cover information on how to dye or stain your completed basket at home, if desired. Take home a piece that embodies both the meditative rhythm of traditional craft and the practical needs of contemporary life.
