Class #4 – Back and Forth (2 Days)

This striking paper basket is woven from 140lb watercolor paper painted with acrylics and cut into strips with a pasta maker. The rim is lashed using waxed linen. The twill is a single row 24 stake pattern, which will be woven with start-stop rows. This is a 2-day class for advanced weavers comfortable with twill and catheads who have previous experience with paper. Although a full kit will be provided, material preparation will be discussed. Some students may have homework between day 1 and day 2
