Workshop Description: We'll wrap beautiful fabric strips around a core, and then use fancy yarns and strings to secure and coil it all into an elaborate basket, creating any shape that you choose. We'll decorate the piece with embellishments, handles, or anything that excites your aesthetic sensibilities. No art or basket-making experience is necessary and all levels are most welcome.
About the Instructor: Vicki Assegued is an experimental and innovative fiber artist and national instructor, always finding new and unique ways to work with her materials. Through her creative process, she explores many techniques to weave, layer, attach, coil, tie, knot, twist, build and develop her pieces so they are vibrant and engaging. She then shares all of her techniques with her students, supporting them to create their own gorgeous and unique fiber art.
