Twined Sculptural Basketry
Session One: May 26-31

Lois Russell
Twined Sculptural Basketry

In this workshop students will use the ancient technique of twining to make contemporary sculptural baskets. Using colorful waxed linen thread, we will begin with the basics and build skills by designing patterns in multiple colors. Students will also learn several options for bases, a simple braided rim, and techniques for making lids and double-walled baskets. There will be daily sessions to talk about new ideas and find solutions to design and construction questions, and we will discuss what makes a basket “contemporary.” Students will set their own pace and be encouraged to follow their own imaginations. All levels. Second-floor textiles studio.
