You will create the beginnings of a small twined basket using waxed linen thread. A small base will be provided to each student and you will learn several twining stitches and explore the many possibilities of pattern, shape and texture through lecture and trial. With a teacher for every three students, you'll get plenty of hands-on coaching. You’ll go home with enough materials to finish your basket plus a handout with instructions and illustrations.
INCLUDED IN THE WORKSHOP FEE: All necessary materials, including basket base, waxed linen thread in assorted colors, handout with instructions and illustrations
ABOUT THE TEACHERS: Claudia Buchinsky is a long-time member of SCHG. She took a twining class quite a few years ago and has been exploring the technique ever since.
Carolyn Sell is a member of SCHG and Seaside Weavers, always “dabbling” in new things and absorbing new techniques from long-time members of the guilds. Claudia is her current mentor with twining with waxed linen.
Rosalie Kessing, also a long-time SCHG member, is a fiber artist who works in multiple mediums. Her latest love is twining with Claudia as her teacher. She is exploring the technique using traditional and non-traditional threads.
All three are currently under the tutelage of Cael Chappell, master basket maker.
