ONLINE: Coiled Baskets with Soft Materials Workshop

March 12, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Online via Zoom with Joan Carrigan

Coiling is one of the most portable basketry techniques and is friendly on the hands. We’ll be using tapestry yarn for our stitching material offering a colourful palette to explore different stitching patterns and shaping options – all of which provide endless design possibilities. This basket ticks a lot of boxes and should come with a Warning.…it can be addictive…in a good way.

The kit for this class will be mailed to you directly and the cost of shipping within Canada is included. There will be an additional cost for shipping outside Canada.

Please note that these workshops are popular and classes are kept small to ensure individual attention. If you are unable to secure a spot for this date, please add your name to the wait list as we will run a second date if a wait list develops. Note that refunds for cancellations are not possible once your kit has been mailed.

Fees: HCP Members $120/Non-Members $140
