Basket Weaving & Fall Flower Arranging Oct 25

$300.00

Back by popular demand! Explore your creative vision through the art of basketry and floristry. Join artists Maddie Reyna (Ox-Bow School of Art & Artist’s Residency) and Dee Clements (Studio Herron/The Weaving Workshop) for a day of making simple basket vases and floral arrangements. Using provided glass vases as inserts, we will learn a simple weaving technique to create a woven basket vessel for our vases and flower arrangements. Clements will demonstrate techniques for weaving small round baskets, and Reyna will lead us through the wire armature arranging method. Flowers, vases, and basket reeds are provided, and participants will get to take their baskets and arrangements home.

Material List:

Please bring with you: 1 pair of sharp Scissors, and a small box to transport your arrangement home in.

Instructor: Dee Clements + Maddie Reyna
Date: Saturday, October 25, 2025
Time: 10 am-4 pm
Location: The Weaving Workshop, 3022 W Cermak Rd, Chicago
Tuition: $300 includes all materials

Schedule:

10 am -12:30 pm: An introduction to basketry, including familiarizing with material and basic terminology, followed by demonstrations on starting the base of a basket vessel, building upward, and weaving rims to finish the basket. No experience is necessary.

12:30 p.m.– 1:30 p.m.  Break for lunch (meals not provided). Microwave and a fridge are available in the studio for student use.

1:30–4:00 p.m A presentation on flower arranging and art history, followed by stem prep, support technique, and arranging demonstration. After self-directed arranging, participants will share and discuss their arrangements with the group.

About the Instructors:

Maddie Reyna is an American painter who began arranging flowers as a way to have live subjects for her work. That practice has come to stand alone as she applies considerations of color, form, and composition to three-dimensional organic matter. She has a Master’s in Painting and Drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, studied at The Flower School of New York, designs flower arrangements for brides and other party throwers in Chicago, and is the Academic Program Director for Ox-Bow School of Art.

Dee Clements is a gallery-represented artist who has shown her sculptural basketry and ceramic work nationally. She was also the owner and director of Studio Herron, a design studio focused on textiles and furniture that closed in 2023. Clements has an MFA in 3D Design from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Sculpture and Fiber/Materials Studies from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
