Coil basketry as a method has been found throughout the world.  From the bee skeps and mats of ancient Europe, to the pine needle baskets of the American West, to the sweetgrass containers of Africa. This global and cultural diversity mirrors the diversity of containers that can be made with this method. 

In this hands-on class we’ll go into the materials particular to the Southwest, as well as collection, processing, and several styles of weave using coil basketry techniques. Along with your own hand made basket, you’ll go away with the principles to make everything from water tight rock boil baskets to tough as nails gathering containers. 

Designed for the beginner to intermediate basket maker, come prepared to dive into some seriously fun and useful primal technology!
