Teaching
Creative Basketry: All Levels
This introduction to basketry will cover some of the main techniques of contemporary soft-fibre basketry, such as coiling, checkweave plaiting, and twining. You will work with a range of materials, from yarn and paper to cane and foraged fibres. Beginners will learn the basic techniques and have the opportunity to practise with different materials. Those with more experience can develop their skills further through working on their own projects.
Twined basketry
Twined basketry uses soft materials – two active weavers are woven around vertical warps, or stakes. You can use a wide range of materials, from natural cordage and vines to wire and baler twine. Weaving can be close, which produces a strong, durable basket, or more open, which results in a more open, flexible construction. You can also create pattern by changing colour.
