Learn methods for building unique, sculptural forms from reed. Experiment with techniques such as twining, starting various basket bottoms and twining backward to create curves. Modify the surfaces of your sculptural baskets using thin-set mortar, powdered graphite, spray paints, and watered-down acrylic paints. Bring your curious and experimental self and leave with a foundation of sculptural basketry skills.
