Hi everyone! As you might know I have not been teaching this year in order to devote time to other projects (a book!) But now I have a free weekend and have decided to teach a pop-up workshop! It will run on Sunday May 19th as long as I can get a minimum number of folks to sign up.
All the details are below and pre-registration is required. Click the button below to register and email me at katiegroveart@gmail.com if you have any questions : )
Coiled Basketry with Grasses, Cattails, and More
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 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.
