Level: Intermediate/Advanced — Prerequisite: A pine needle basketry class through Groundwork or similar experience. You should be able to create simple pine needle baskets already.
Expand your knowledge of pine needle basketry in this class for intermediate to advanced basketmakers! We’ll spend the afternoon making a more advanced basket, with a new stitch pattern. You’ll leave the class having made either a lid with a handle for a pre-existing pine needle basket or creating a new small vessel with advanced techniques.
This class is designed for students who have taken an Intro To Pine Needle Basketry class through Groundwork, or have equivalent experience. All weaving materials and tools are provided. Ages 12 and up.
Coil baskets are a family of baskets where flexible materials are spiraled in concentric circles and sewn together using thread or a natural plant material. Common materials used for coil basketry in our region are pine needles, grasses, sedges, willow rods, and various desert plants. Indigenous coil basketry in the desert southwest region is often beautifully patterned. Indigenous coil basketmakers in Arizona even produce waterproof baskets!
