What is a Basket?

Students will create a small square bottomed basket with a variety of basketry techniques (plaited base, weaving the sides, twining, lashing a rim, creating and wrapping side handles) using dyed and natural reed. Emphasis will be on basic structure, techniques and construction of a basket and creating your own unique piece. Each piece will be unique.

This is reed (rattan) basket class. It focuses heavily on the concept of basketry and encourages creativity while teaching structure and basketry technique. This is a perfect first basketry class!
