Class Description:

Exquisite hand-thrown pottery bowls act as the base for creative and free-form weaving.  Using dyed and natural reed, you will construct your basket with twining and tapestry techniques.  Rims will be discussed.  Some embellishments will be available.  The instructor urges you to bring feathers, beads, buttons, and other items along to personalize your basket.  No two pieces of pottery are alike and all are unique.  Bowls vary in size but can be 3-4” wide, 4- 6”  high, and 4-6” in diameter.
