◀ Return to the Basketry Calendar
Participants will learn the fundamentals for weaving a twined basket by creating a set of two or three bowls. Demonstrations will discuss topics such as how to start and finish a basket, how to modify the basket’s shape, as well as how to add patterned designs. Further art discussions will include topics such as color theory, proportions, and pattern generation. Initial projects will be smaller in scale so that they can be used as references for later projects.
While the majority of the supplies will be provided, participants are encouraged to bring a variety of cotton or wool yarn for weaving patterns into their baskets.
All Skill levels are welcome.
The basket weaving retreat includes room, meals, and conferences at Prince of Peace Abbey’s guest house. Check-in for the retreat begins at 2:00 PM on June 19. Check-out is at 3:30pm on June 21.
