</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Wrap
around plaiting is a basket construction technique that was found on baskets
from the NW coast that dated from 2500 to 3000 years ago. This technique was
used most in large carrying baskets. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This continuous weave
cedar basket is very functional and would make a great berry gathering basket.

Expect to learn a continuous weave pattern using a wooden mold (not included in
class fee) and a folded and braided rim. The rope tumpline is a separate class
taught in the afternoon of the second day. This is both a beautiful and
functional basket. </span><br />

I wanted to share this link with you. This happens in March every year in Port Orchard, WA for 4 days. Lots of fun and no dishes and no cooking. Just in brain overload weaving and visiting all your friends you only get to see once per year. Click on brochure download to see all the classes offered this year. <br />
<br />
I'm also starting a line of garden hats. That should be fun. <br />

<br />
I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky, near Berea, and had no neighbor children to play with so I usually entertained myself by observing nature and playing with natural materials. When I was about six I made my first basket from cockle burrs and later grasshopper homes and bridges from stems. I learned native plants and trees and then I discovered basketry, my second passion in life, the first being plants. My maternal grandmother was Cherokee and she taught me many uses of plants. I remember as a child walking on the river cliffs to gather plants to prepare for dinner. (That's another story.) This awe of plants and weaving has led me to where I am today. I have studied with many Native American master basket weavers from the Pacific Northwest plus local basket artists as well as a noted Applachian white oak basket maker. I have been a member of the Seattle Vi Phillips Basketry Guild for many years and have taught in Washington and Oregon. My work has been displaid in the Kitsap County Indian Museum, local libraries, local and state fairs, and in Washington galleries. Recently, I was featured in a basketry article in the Kitsap County Westsound Home and Garden Magazine.<br />
My love of plants and weaving remains strong and I would like to share this knowledge so others may experience the spiritual and physical rewards that weaving with natural materials brings.<br />

My husband, George, grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. He is a wildlife biologist by trade and has devoted many years to the gathering, harvesting, and preparation of natural materials. He has also studied with Native American and local artists. He uses cedar bark, cedar and spruce roots, and local grasses and sedges in his baskets. His prefered technique is coiling.Wilderness Basketryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16702630394459804198noreply@blogger.com2
