Leather, wire, reed, cloth, cane, jute, seagrass, and broom corn can be used. You may bring something “special” to weave into the basket - - it will totally make the basket your own. The optional liner not only lines the basket but will also be used as the rim filler. Round reed will be the rim filler if you don’t choose the liner.

Using smoked and your choice of a second color, weave this twill base using four different sized spokes. Using a play in twill, create the “creature like figures” that “invade” the side weaving. Spoke placement and weaving tension will be discussed as well as the twill pattern creation. Choose closed notched handle or leather side handles for easy carrying. Rim with matching smoked and waxed linen. Approx. 11” x 7” x 7 ½” (15” with handle) Intermediate Class, prep & material fee $56 Special tools required: spoke weight

PLEASE NOTE SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED -- Pictures not to scale – Please check sizes given for each basket

SKILL LEVELS Please evaluate your skill level not only for your total weaving experience, but also for your experience in the techniques offered in the class you are considering. Advanced Beginner Weavers are becoming proficient in basic weaving techniques including over/under weaving, start/stop weaving, twining, and rim lashing. They are learning to control shape. They will be introduced to new pattern weaves such as twill, different twining methods, and rim and handle finish variations. If you are taking a class in a material you have never used, you are a beginner in that class. Intermediate Weavers are gaining proficiency in weaving techniques. They have no trouble setting up bases, twining, over/under weaves and rims using the materials offered for a class. Advanced Weavers are proficient or have mastered weaving techniques. They are ready to take on more challenging projects.

Teachers depend on students to have achieved this skill level to attend their class. Basic skills are not reviewed due

to time constraints.

This basket is woven on a round hardwood base. Some of the techniques include: lots of 4-rod wale, continuous 2/2 twill with a step and double-cross lashing.

Five years ago she was approached by Crossroad Weaving Guild in Okemos, Michigan to present and teach a couple of her designs that she had made for a local quilt shop. From the encouragement that she received, an adventure has begun. She really enjoys working with wood bases and designing unique leather handles for her baskets. This has also brought her in touch with local Amish gentlemen that take her ideas from paper into reality.
