You'll begin with creating a stuffed cylinder, using fabrics that speak to you. You'll then build a base and a top, shaped as you choose it to be. Then, you'll learn many techniques for going all out with decorating and embellishing it. This can include all kinds of wrapping of various objects to hang on your piece, as well as tassels, fringe, pompoms, and so much more. No art or basket-making experience is necessary and all levels are most welcome. (Please note that the techniques taught in this class are completely different from my "Vivacious Vessels" workshop).
Materials Fee $40 paid at beginning of class includes:
Almost everything you'll need will be supplied. Optionally, you're most welcome to bring your own stash of fabrics, yarns, strings, fringe, tassels, trim, beads and other decorative elements to add to your sculptural basket.
