Basketry - Small Twined Basket
About this workshop
Learn how to use natural materials to make a small twined basket with Jodie Goldring.
In this full-day workshop, you will learn to use materials such as red-hot poker or day lily of chasmanthe to make a small basket using the traditional basketry technique of twining.
Twining is the twisting of two strands of flexible material alternately around a support. This technique creates shape as well as adding stability to baskets.
At the end of the day, you will take your twined basket home with you.
