Basketry Workshop: Discovering Coiling at the Oxmarket Gallery

Basketry Workshop: Discovering Coiling at the Oxmarket Gallery

1 DAY - SKILLS BASED WORKSHOP
Begin by looking at the structure of a coiled basket to identify the core and stitching material. Learn the techniques for hand stitching around the core to begin the basket, wrap and join threads. A basic stitching technique will be taught, with suggestions as how patterns could be added with colours and the placing of each stitch. If making a small basket, rather than a mat, learn how to place the core material to build a form. Before leaving, learn how to finish the basket off with the core neatly stitched to against the rim, or to perhaps to form a loop. The day is intended as a skills based day; to try out a technique or perhaps as a refresher. At the end of the day students should make one piece.
Workshops are suitable for beginners and those with a little more experience. I will demonstrate the technique, provide visual notes and offer individual support. All materials and equipment will be provided. Students might like to bring a notebook, pencil and camera. Reading glasses may be required for close work.
