Weave a Basket with Fabric and Vines
About Weave a Basket with Fabric and Vines with Katie Grove
Ever wonder what you can do with all the vines taking over your backyard? Have a stash of fabric and yarn that has been waiting for the perfect project? If you answered yes then this basket is for you! During the workshop you will make a traditional Appalachian style egg basket with a twist: fabric and yarn will be woven in a vine frame to create a fun and colorful look. We will start with a grapevine frame with god’s eye lashing and then weave with fabric scraps, roving, and thick yarns to give the basket a soft but sturdy construction.
There is a lot of room for your individuality to shine in this basket and everyone’s will turn out a different size and shape depending on the materials you choose to weave with. You will go home with a basket, instructions to create many more, and inspiration to continue weaving!
This Fiber Arts Seminar is offered as part of the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival 2022 and is limited to 12 students.
Class Materials Fee
$20 (includes all natural wild harvested materials, a selection of fabric, roving, and yarn). Materials fees are not included in the registration and should be paid directly to the instructor just prior to the start of class.
Materials, Equipment, and Supplies the Student Must Bring to Class
A pair of scissors and pruning shears (small handheld ones)
Optional: fabric, old clothes, roving, thicker yarns for weaving into the basket. I will have a selection to choose from, but it is nice for students to have some of their own material. It's the perfect use for that old dress you love or that pile of roving you haven't been able to find a use for!
