Sculptural Basketry May 3 + 4
In this class, we will learn and apply basket weaving techniques to create three-dimensional forms, structures, and vessels. We will begin by weaving a round base and practicing different weaving techniques, introducing colored reeds to explore how these techniques can create various patterns. Additionally, we will investigate form and structure, examining sculptural basket work from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Participants will have the opportunity to create small-scale projects, either using molds and formers or working freehand. The emphasis will be on using basketry techniques to explore pattern, form, structure, and sculptural ideas.
This class is ideal for artists looking to incorporate basket weaving into their work, as well as beginners interested in exploring a new craft. Bring your imaginative ideas, creative spirit and willingness to play without judgement! No prior experience is required. Each student will receive 2 lbs of reed to use during class and take home. Additional tools, such as scissors and packing tools, will be provided for use during the class. There will also be a packet with info and resources for everyone to take home as well.
