About the Instructor

Create a flat hex base, learn the trick to bring up the sides and weave with multiple weavers. Add an easy rim with a single handle. Embellish as you like. Your creation can be over-woven in more cane or materials of your choice creating an attractive useful object. We will discuss how to change directions in hex plaiting to make even more interesting shapes. Dyed cane, clips, and instructions supplied. Your project will be 6" x 6" x 6"

Tools needed: Spray bottle, bucket for soaking before and as you work; WeaveRite, awl or flat screw driver; towel; measuring tape; clippers or scissors for cane; spoke weight or other weight
