Coiled Basketry with Plants of the Garden

Have you ever looked outside and wondered what you could make with the abundance of natural materials growing in your own yard? In this workshop you will learn how to take iris, grasses, cattails, daylily leaves, and many other natural materials and create coiled baskets. Coiling is an ancient and versatile basketry technique in which a wrapping strand is sewn around coils of material to build a form. It is used all over the world to create beautiful vessels that can be either decorative or functional. During the workshop we will discuss how to identify, harvest, and prepare a variety of local materials all while coiling baskets using a variety of stitches. If you are excited about using found natural materials to create art and learning a fun and unique new skill, then join us! Everyone will leave with a basket, the skills to create more pieces in the future, and inspiration to explore your local natural landscape.

UPDATE JUNE 10th – WAITLIST. I have one spot left and am updating my website to the waitlist so I accidentally don’t enroll too many people! Email me at katiegroveart@gmail.com to inquire about spots. A few folks that signed up were ‘maybes’ so it’s likely more spots will open up as well. 

Thanks so much,

Katie

OTHER DETAILS
