Description

The Erika Napkin Basket is the perfect start to your weaving journey. We’ll weave a filled base, learn chicken feet, upsetting spokes, single row weaving, how to add accent colors, and a really fun matchstick border.

• When registering, students will be given the option to purchase an additional basket kit for $25. People who have made baskets before may have time to do 2. Others may like a kit to work on at home.

Prerequisites for participants: No experience needed, just an interest in learning

Materials to be provided by/additional instructions for students:

Please bring to class:

• A tub or bucket for soaking reed
• A spray bottle for water
• Measuring tape
• A towel
• Clothespins
• Something heavy to act as a spoke weight. (Can be your water tub depending on type, a rice bag, heavy book, etc.)
• Scissors that can cut reed

Recommended:

• an apron
• basketry sheers ( I will have multiple that we can share, but it’s easiest if everyone has their own pair, especially once we get to that border!)
• Bring a snack if you’d like. Hot water is available for drinks.
