Sculptural Basketry APRIL 5 + 6
In this class, we’ll learn and apply basket weaving techniques to making 3-dimensional forms, structures, and vessels. On the first day, we will start with two group dye baths to apply color to our materials and create sampler baskets to learn and practice weaving techniques and basics of weaving 3-dimensionally. Day two we will explore form and structure, look at sculptural basket work from a historical and contemporary lens, and make small-scale projects using formers and molds. Emphasis is on learning basic basketry techniques and exploring form, structure and sculptural ideas.
This class is perfect for artists wanting to incorporate basket weaving into their artwork or for beginners seeking a new craft to explore. Bring your imaginative ideas and creative spirit! No previous experience is necessary. This class includes a 1lb skein of reed for students to use and keep. Additional tools such as scissors and packing tools will be supplied for students to use during class.
*Dates: April 5 + 6, 11 am - 3 pm each day.
*Tuition: $360 per student. This tuition covers materials, supplies, and a packet on techniques and history. Please note, this is a private art studio and will be a fun and intimate art-making experience, space is limited to 10 people
