Instructor: Ann Coddington

Saturday & Sunday, April 5th & 6th | 10–4pm

In this busy two-day workshop, Ann will introduce twining as a method of creating sculptural woven forms utilizing waxed linen as well as reed. The class will cover several different ways of starting pieces teaching you how to turn, split and join forms. This will give you lots of methods for inventing your own shapes and most of all, have fun creating with this ancient basketry technique!
