Sorry everyone, that the class was canceled. There was just too much snow. Best that we all stayed off the roads. Hope you had a wonderful winter day.




Sampler Basket

 

Sampler Basket
Base diameter 7"-- Top diameter 12"-- Height 12"


Saturday, March 1, 2008
9:00 am to 3:00 pm..........$55

Like the sampler tapestries of old, this basket creates an opportunity to weave with an assortment of different materials and technique combinations. The designs are endless. Have fun with a variety of textures and colors. It's also a good chance to use up bits of scrap materials. Bands of three-rod wale help separate the different patterns. This basket does not require the use of color, as a wonderful design is created with the textures from different weaving techniques.


Square with Ball Feet

Square basket with feet
11" x 11" square, approximately 7" high


Saturday,April 5, 2008
9:00 am to 3:00 pm.......$50

This basket is an adaptation of baskets created by Beath Sager and Joanne Wood Peters. With a solid bottom and wooden ball feet, this basket incorporates flat and round reed for weavers. I have overlaid 1/4" flat pieces into the sides for added depth. Color can be added in any part of construction.



divided work

Divided Work Basket

Saturday,May 3, 2008
9:00am to 3:00pm.....$50

This divided basket is great for any project. It's good for basket tool (that's what I use mine for), garden supplies, sewing, or many other needs. The divider is a bit of a bugger to put in, it's optional, but worth the effort.



spinner basket

Spinner's Basket

10"W x 18"L x 11"H with a 20" D handle

Sunday, June 8, 2008
9:00am to 3:00pm........$55

Note the Day - This class is on a Sunday.

This large flat-reed basket is big enough for any project. I first created this basket for a group of women who wanted one for spinning projects. It can be used for many other ideas, of course. It's very functional. I'll bring plenty of dyed materials. The base is a woven solid base. I will bring a large variety of different size weavers to make a unique basket.
