Basket #1
Joan Stoneham
Tear Drop Basket
All levels
Cost $55
Size approx. 12" (will vary)
If you’re looking for something a little different and want to try
sculpturing with reed, this teardrop basket is for you. Weaves
consist of continuous, twining, and 3 rod wale. The top is
enhanced with a braided rim and woven handle. Shapes and size
will vary per individual but a pointed bottom will be specifically
emphasized. Instructions and tips on shapes will be covered.
Embellishments of choice will be up to the individual student.
Basket #2
Nancy Jones
Tartan Weave
Advanced Beginner
Cost $62.00
Size approx. 7”x11”x10”
The design element for Tartan Weave appears complex but is
woven in an over/under weave. The pattern is achieved by the color
and placement of the spokes and weavers. This basket is woven
from a hardwood base and ends with a waxed linen lashing. You can
redesign this basket in class by extending the pattern with more
rows and/or alternating the rows more frequently. Let's have fun
while being creative with an over/under weave.
Basket #3
Peggie Wilcox
Bark Ruff
Intermediate level
Cost $75.00
Size approx. 4-5” tall by 3” diameter
Participants will begin this unique basket by laying out a square Cedar
bark base, and begin twining with Iris leaves. After the upset we’ll
start a continuous spiral up with outer bark plaiting and Iris leaf
twining. From here there are some design options such as building up
one high side or changing materials for color variation. We’ll finish
with a “ruff” of Cedar bark fringe. Plant materials will be discussed.
Basket #4
Eric Taylor
Bungalow Trinket
Intermediate level
Cost $85.00
Size 5 ½” L (w/o handles) x 4 ½” W x 3” H (w/o handles)
The Bungalow Trinket proudly features flaring cherry ear
handles giving it the Viking ship look. Students will weave
alternating width hand pounded brown ash uprights. This
basket is mold woven and finished with nailed cherry rims.
