BASKETMAKING WORKSHOPS AT TRENT CONTINUING EDUCATION IN FEBRUARY

JOIN ME FOR COILED BASKETRY OR TWINED BASKETRY WITH LOCAL MATERIALS AT TRAILL COLLEGE IN PETERBOROUGH!

FEBRUARY 15TH: COILED BASKETS Many cultures and peoples around the world have used a variety of natural materials to create baskets that are both beautiful and utilitarian. Grasses, reeds, pine needles, and bark are just a few of the examples of items that can be dried and turned into baskets. While a variety of techniques exist to join these materials, the one we will focus on in this workshop is coiling. This ancient technique involves making coils and stitching them together to make a basket. At the end of this workshop, you will have made a small basket with natural materials and gained the fundamentals to create even more complex designs in the future. https://trentucontinuinged.corsizio.com/event/673376eab0692317b47d3d71

FEBRUARY 22ND: TWINED BASKETS Many cultures and peoples around the world have used a variety of natural materials to create baskets that are both beautiful and utilitarian. Grasses, reeds, pine needles, and bark are just a few of the examples of items that can be dried and turned into baskets. In this workshop, we’ll focus on learning about twining, a technique in which two wefts cross over each other between warps, to create mini twined baskets. A variety of materials will be on offer, including cattails, corn husks, lily leaves, and grasses, meaning each basket will be unique and created entirely from nature! https://trentucontinuinged.corsizio.com/event/67409a2caa4a191770154452
