Come make a mobile, an indoor/outdoor hanging piece. In this mini class you will learn to weave with a continuous twill or plaited pattern on a flat piece of uneven wood. (The completed project is a beautiful piece of beach wood on one side and your beautiful weaving on the other) This is a chance to weave something not in the round, to take basketry techniques and apply them to a sculptural form. It is also a chance to apply your own aesthetic and design to a project in a low risk way.
