SUMMARY:Introduction to Basketry Workshop (Adult)
DESCRIPTION:In this class, you will learn the fundamentals of traditional basket weaving while creating your own handmade basket from start to finish. Students will be introduced to essential weaving terms, techniques, and design elements, as well as how to properly prepare and work with basket-making materials. The class will cover the process of laying out a sturdy base with an integrated handle, weaving a simple pattern, and using basic weaving tools effectively.\n\nAlong the way, you'll have opportunities to make the basket your own by choosing design elements such as weaver spacing, color combinations, and overall dimensions, creating a piece that reflects your personal style. As you progress through the project, you will learn how to turn and shape the sides of the basket, create and finish a rim row, and use specialized tools such as a shave pony and shave knife to shape and refine the rim. The class will also cover techniques for lashing the rim securely and adding the final finishing touches to complete a functional, handcrafted basket that is uniquely yours while showcasing your newly developed weaving skills.\n\nA $25 materials fee, payable in cash to the instructor is due at the first class.\n\nTeaching Artist: Claire Gallagher\nAdults: Friday Oct 16 and Oct 23 (2 sessions)\nTime 12:00am - 3:00pm\n\n$150 Member* | $165 Non-Member\n\n\n * Membership required for member pricing.
