Twined Basketry Explorations

With Cael Chappell This program is part of Handwork 2026, presented by Craft in America Calling all curious and colorful weavers! This basket weaving workshop puts the FUN in fundamentals for folks of all skill levels. We'll start with Japanese paper cord on the first day, which will get us accustomed to weaving a twined basket. You can continue to work with Japanese cord or move to waxed linen thread. Learn the basics of how to make bases, shape the side of a basket, finish rims, build blocks of twined patterns, and so much more. Choose your own colors and thread sizes to adjust the difficulty level. Think big and create abstract and sculptural pieces, or think small by making tiny baskets. With individualized instruction from Cael, it's a basketry choose-your-own-adventure!
