Basketweaving with Foraged Materials at the Appalachian Center for Craft

501

Learn to harvest, process and weave with a number of invasive vines that grow in the Southeast. The mature vines of wisteria, kudzu, and Japanese honeysuckle can be processed into material which forms the structure for strong and beautiful baskets. We will discuss both traditional weaving techniques and more sculptural designs for working with this plentiful material. Students can expect to leave with material they have processed themselves and at least one completed basket. No prior experience required, however moderate hand strength is necessary.
