About this event
Create a beautiful woven star using traditional basketmaking reed in this beginner-friendly workshop.
You'll learn simple weaving techniques as you transform natural reed into a decorative star that can be displayed year-round or used as seasonal décor. Along the way, we'll cover basic reed preparation, weaving methods, shaping, and finishing techniques to help you create a sturdy and attractive finished piece.
This workshop is a wonderful introduction to working with basketmaking materials and offers a relaxing, hands-on creative experience. Whether you're new to weaving or simply looking to try a different fiber art, you'll enjoy learning the process step-by-step in a supportive studio environment.
Your finished star can be displayed on a wall, incorporated into wreaths and seasonal decorations, or enjoyed as a handcrafted piece of folk art.
No experience is necessary. All materials and tools are provided.
You'll leave with:
• One completed woven reed star or two smaller ones
• An introduction to traditional reed weaving techniques
• Tips for working with basketmaking reed in future projects
• A unique handmade decoration ready to display
