Basketry Workshop: Discovering Plaiting at the Oxmarket Gallery

1 DAY - SKILLS BASED WORKSHOP
Learn how to weave strips of flat paper into a three dimensional basket using the technique of plaiting. Starting with colour strips to learn the technique, use the skills learnt to weave a second plaited basket working with decorative paper. Learn how to weave a base, turn the corner, weave the sides and finish the ends. The day is intended as a skills based day; to try out a technique or perhaps as a refresher. At the end of the day students should take home two finished baskets.
Workshops are suitable for beginners and those with a little more experience. I will demonstrate the technique, provide visual notes and offer individual support. All materials and equipment will be provided. Students might like to bring a notebook, pencil and camera. Reading glasses may be required for close work.
