Introduction to Twill Patterns for Basket Making JANUARY evening class
Join me for a one-day introductory workshop where you will learn to design variations of twill patterns for weaving three-dimensional baskets using reed. We will begin by drafting twill patterns and their variations using graph paper and pencils. Then, we will translate these patterns into a flat weaving sample with reed before creating a small basket using colored reeds based on our new designs. No prior experience with basketry or weaving is necessary to take this workshop, though if you have some familiarity with weaving, that will be helpful.
Workshop Details: (2 evenings @ 3hrs each) Dates: Tuesday, January 28, 6 pm - 9 pm AND Thursday, January 30, 6 pm - 9 pm. Instructor: Dee Clements
Materials Included: Two skeins of reed, one colored, and one natural. Graph paper is used for pattern drafting.
What to Bring: - A pencil with an eraser - Colored pencils (optional, but very helpful for the drafting exercise) and a Lunch.
Cancellation and Refund Policy: Please carefully consider your commitment to this workshop. If you cancel 30 or more days before the start date, you will receive a full refund minus a $25 processing fee. Cancellations made fewer than 30 days before the workshop will result in the forfeiture of the entire workshop fee.
Location: The workshop will take place in Dee’s private art studio, a street-level storefront located in Chicago’s Marshall Square/Little Village neighborhood. The address will be provided to participants one week before the workshop.
