Experienced basket weavers will enjoy the challenge of learning 2 new techniques in this basket: twill weave and how to make the "cat head" shaped base. The instructor will supply brown reed and natural for contrast, but students are encouraged to bring dyed reed of their own, if they prefer another color. Please contact the instructor for specifics. This class is designed for EXPERIENCED weavers only, please, no beginners.We will work through lunch so everyone will leave with a completed basket. Be sure to bring lunch, snacks, and drinks.
Materials to weave the basket will be provided but you must bring some tools with you to class.
