Basket Weaving (June 2026)

Description

This is a one-day workshop, each participant will create a basket woven with plant fibres from local fields and gardens. Experience level is beginner and intermediate students can be challenged with advanced weaving techniques.

Participants will learn about the plant fibres in use, their names, how to collect them, process, store, and prepare them for weaving as well as important aspects of environmentally sustainable collection methods. I provide all materials necessary for this workshop and students are asked to bring scissors, spray bottle, measuring tape, and a tea towel for wrapping your work. I invite everyone to bring any plant fibres or other textiles that you might like to experiment with or discuss.

Bring your own lunch, snacks and drinking water. Everyone will finish their basket in the workshop time.
