About this Event
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Learn the fundamentals of Kagome, a traditional weaving technique, in this hands-on basketry workshop. Using reed, a natural plant fibre, you’ll be guided step by step through the full process, from preparing materials and building a base to shaping the form and finishing with a lashed rim.
By the end of the 3-hour session, you’ll leave with your own completed basket; an elegant, functional piece perfect for everyday storage.
What you’ll learn:
- How to prepare and work with reed
- The basics of Kagome weaving
- Techniques for shaping and finishing a basket
This beginner-friendly workshop requires no prior experience. All materials and tools are provided.
Dimensions: 6" x 6" x 1.5"
Note: This workshop will be led in English.
