All Levels TBD Materials and Studio Fees*
In this experimental basketry workshop, participants will learn methods for building nonfunctional forms with reed, wire, waxed linen, and anything they bring with them. We will focus on techniques such as twining, looping, and knotted netting. To build textural surfaces on these forms, we will work with thin-set and additional treatments like powdered graphite, spray paints, and watered down acrylic paints that will further modify the surfaces of our sculptural baskets.
*Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor. Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided. Final cost of these fees will be posted at least two weeks ahead of the workshop to be paid in full prior to check-in.
