Coiling Patterns With Natural Fibre

Two Days, 10am – 3pm

One of the joys of basketry is that there’s no end to the variations in pattern, form and expression you can create. Once you’ve grasped the basics of technique and materials, you’re ready for a lifelong journey of experimentation and self-expression.

In this intermediate course you’ll be introduced to a range of different coiling shapes and patterns that you can combine endlessly into your own creations. You’ll leave with a completed unique basket of your own design, or several different patterned starts that you can complete at home.

What you'll learn:

• Two different starts for coiling with natural fibres

• A range of coiling stitches to create an infinite variety of patterns

• More advanced shaping techniques

• Finishing touches including handles or hooks

This course is designed for those with some experience, like the one-day raffia or natural fibre coiled basketry workshops. It’s a terrific way to build on your skills in a fun, collaborative environment that’ll get your creative groove flowing!

 All materials for the weekend are provided, and being a small class you’ll get plenty of time to experiment with patterns, ask questions and trouble-shoot any problems.

This is a great opportunity to take your weaving to the next level. Come along and be amazed at what you can create!
