Class #8 – Flame Tree Seed Pod

Weavers must be experienced in maintaining a very tight spiral stitch and keeping the gauge consistently full, making strong floating coils. Each participant will be provided a predrilled Fire Tree seed pod to use as the basket base and natural long-leaf pine needles from North Carolina. Coilers will be shown how to create free-floating coils and the utilisation of negative space in the basket. No two baskets will be the same due to individual creativity. Participant will learn to wrap coils, add a bead between the coils and add an embellishment to their creation.
