In this one-day class students will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of local basketry materials and fundamental weaving techniques. We will learn about the process of harvesting and processing local materials that can be easily gleaned from backyards or urban neighborhoods, while also having the hands-on experience of weaving a small vessel using plaiting and twining techniques.
