Apply Patterning with Two Strand Twining

Prerequisites: Must have completed a basket using two-strand twining from start to finish.

Come along for a deep dive into the art of twined basketry. In this workshop, you’ll extend on your previous experience in starting and finishing a twined basket to understand several variations that allow more complex patterning.
This workshop is designed for intermediate or experienced makers looking to practice twining and extend your skills. Rather than creating a finished basket, we’ll experiment with a range of variations to the twining technique.
What you will learn:
• How to start a basket – three ways
• Two-strand twining stitch – Z and S
• Options for patterning including lattice twining
• Intro to three-strand twining
• Finishing off – three ways
All materials for the day are provided, including a beautiful selection of natural fibres that have been foraged and prepared for you.
