We will make three-quarter ribbed baskets using a mix of natural materials and reed. You will learn how to shape a ribbed basket, create patterns with different materials, and learn about the process of harvesting natural materials. Each basket will be unique due to the different sizes of materials, all made from invasive vines and reeds, with many color options. The basic frame with the initial ribs already attached will be provided. This class is suitable for both beginners and those with more experience.ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
