About

Learn how to weave a small basket out of waxed linen using the twining method. You'll be introduced to techniques for starting the bottom, turning up the sides, and finishing the rim. You'll also learn a number of strategies for creating exciting and colorful patterns. If you work outside of class, you can expect to finish a small basket by the end of the second class.

Details

  • Skill level: All levels, though some prior experience twining (waxed linen or any other material) is helpful.
  • Bring a lunch or have a way to drive into town to get something to eat as we'll break for lunch on the first day of class. BARN has a refrigerator and microwave you can use on the lower level. 

Details

  • A $25 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers all supplies: waxed linen, tapestry needle, glue, fabric, and thread.
  • If you have waxed linen and/or decorative beads you'd like to use, feel free to bring them (optional).

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.

Instructor
Katy Levit

Bainbridge Island artist Katy Levit creates hand-made, one-of-a-kind sculptures and functional pieces in both porcelain and fiber. Inspired by nature and the everyday objects around her, Katy’s work explores vulnerability, chaos, and the wonder that can be found in the ordinary. In addition to her own studio practice, Katy enjoys teaching others the delight that can be found in creating something that wasn’t there before. When Katy’s not in the studio she can be found hiking on one of the island’s forest trails or curled up with a cup of tea, a book, and a small dachshund.
