While often mistaken for weaving, coiling is a distinct basketry technique. Instead of
interlacing two sets of materials, you’ll be wrapping one material around a core and
then stitching it in place. We’ll provide you with cotton cording for your core and a
variety of colorful yarns to wrap it with.
Objectives:
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have everything you need to create your own
beautiful baskets. You will leave with a semi-finished small basket and the skills to
complete it at home in just 1-2 hours. You’ll also gain the knowledge to make as many
baskets as you like in the future!
You will receive all necessary materials to create a small (about 4”-5”) basket: coil filler,
a variety of yarns and a yarn needle for “stitching” the basket.
Cost: $55 per student (All materials included). Age: 15 and up
Space limited to 10 participants. No experience required.
