Large Tote with Leather Handles 
|
A large tote has many uses! I take mine routinely to the local Farmers Market. The design comes from color placement of the stakes and weavers, and the leather handles are comfortable to carry. We will add runners on the bottom for extra strength. Some color choice will be offered. This class has been cancelled for health reasons - Diane is recuperating from surgery. |

Coiled Basket 
|
Coiling is one of the most versatile basketry technique. You will use fiber rush as a core, and the stitching fiber is waxed linen. Discussion will include the flexibility of shaping, using a secondary color, considering a variety of other materials for the core and stitching, and how to finish your piece. Students are encouraged to create their own original design. Image is a sample, not an example. Bring a pair of small sharp scissors, and a notebook for notes. Note regarding this picture: this is a sample, not an example, meaning each student will focus on their own design and will not be making the same exact item. |

Double Wall Twill Quatrefoil 
|
This double-walled, quatrefoil twill basket is on a wood base and has a dark brown inner basket. The outer basket is woven in a quatrefoil twill. I designed it because I’ve always had trouble shaping a quatrefoil and this solves that problem – all the shaping is done on the inner basket.
When you get to the twill, you can concentrate solely on that. I will also have the option of doing a less complex twill if someone wants it. |
