On Saturday, June 7, 2014, members of the Bay Area Basket Makers (BABM) will teach two workshops at the Caning Shop in Berkeley beginning at 12:30.
Introduction to Basketry: Twining: Learn to twine with your choice of provided materials, and complete an easy but satisfying basket in 3 hours or less. Three simple basket starts will be demonstrated, as well as a number of rim techniques. Written instructions will be provided for future use.
Intermediate Twining and Problem Solving: Want to take basic twining beyond the basic level? Learn a variety of twining patterns & colorful designs. Must have a basket start: the basket sides will be used to create the patterns. Please bring 4 or more colors of your desired twining material to class.
More details: Free to BABM members; $5 for non-members. Materials fee of $5 only for those using provided materials. The Caning Shop, an excellent local source for basketry and gourding supplies, is located at 926 Gilman St., Berkeley & is easily accessible from I-80.
