Start: 2025-05-04T10:00:00-04:00
End: 2025-05-04T16:00:00-04:00
Location: PA Guild of Craftsmen

Instructor: Suzi Nonn

Skill Level: Beginner/All

Random weave is a basket weaving technique that is easy to learn. It is similar to a bird weaving material to create a beautiful and functional nest. You can use a variety of materials. In this class, we will use commercial space dyed reed. There’s no specific pattern, but a natural flow when weaving in this style. Most of the time there is little control over the shape, but we will be using a “defective gourd” as a mold. Making baskets is slow and relaxing, but over time, they always turn out beautiful in their wild and tangled look.

A materials fee of $40 is due to the instructor at the time of the class.
