Join artist Cheryl Tilley as she teaches the basic concepts and techniques of basket weaving, such as stop and start, twining, and over and under weaving! Study the significance of baskets from all over the world and throughout history and create your own baskets with different colors and kinds of reed. Perhaps a basket with a picket fence at the top or a square basket with an easy rim or handle is in your future! What will you put in your fantastic baskets?

Tilley, Cheryl
