Online: Intro to Woven Upcycled Functional Art

If you are an artist looking for creative ways to make your practice more sustainable, look no further! For thousands of years, people have been making baskets with materials they found in the world around them. Now you can turn stuff you would normally recycle or trash into whimsical and useful home décor. Your imagination is the only limit – there is so much potential in things often thought of as useless. Students will be introduced to two basic basket weaving techniques – plaiting and twining. You will learn to make a base, weave the sides, and finish a basket with a rim.
