Skill Levels For Weavers

Skill Levels For Weavers
Please evaluate your skill level not only for your total weaving experience, but also for your experience in the techniques offered in the class you are considering. For example, if you are an advanced weaver in naturals but have
never woven with round reed, you are a beginning weaver in a round reed class.
Beginner
Weavers are becoming proficient in basic weaving techniques including over/under weaving, start/stop weaving,
twining, and rim lashing. They are learning to control shape. They will be introduced to new pattern weaves such as
twill, different twining methods, and rim and handle finish variations. If you are taking a class in a material you
have never used, you are a beginner in that class.
Intermediate
Weavers are gaining proficiency in weaving techniques. They have no trouble setting up bases, twining, over/under
weaves and rims using the materials offered for a class.
Advanced
Weavers are proficient or have mastered weaving techniques. They are ready to take on more challenging projects.
Teachers depend on students to have achieved this skill level to attend their class. Basic skills are not reviewed due to
time constraints.

The inspiration for this basket came from a
50 cent basket purchased at a thrift store.
For your pleasure, you will be weaving with
black ash, elm bark and rattan. The techniques you will learn, besides working with
naturals, are the diamond weave, chase
weaving, adding a foot and a great foldedover rim. This is a great class for shaping
experience.
Get compliments on this stunning, but sturdy
purse! Weave on a mold using cane, learn to
place spokes into a base & how to follow a
graph for your pattern choice on the front.
The adjustable leather handle is included.
Students can choose oak, walnut or cherry
for the base, rim, & lid. Liners will be available for purchase.

This basket is woven using 1/32˝ black ash
splints to create a unique and delicate oval
feather basket. The basket is woven the
first day, and the quatrefoil twill lid is
woven the second day. The handle is prenotched and oiled for easy attachment.
This is a showcase basket utilizing skills of
lid and handle placement, chase weave and
quatrefoil twill pattern.
This dynamic tote attracts attention wherever
you take it. Trees appear both outside and
inside as you weave this twill design. A
graph of the tree pattern guides you through
the eight trees on this basket. Finish with
shaker tape handles and lash with a blanket
stitch of waxed linen. Bring insta-cure glue
(purple label).
There is something magical about baskets,
and this one is no exception. Using copper
strips and copper wire for spokes, learn to
blend color with fine colored wire. The
basket makes a “little twist” as new spokes
are added. Students should bring small
wire cutters, chain nose pliers, round nose
pliers, small packing tool and 1-5 embroidery needles. Task light and extension cord
helpful.

This basket is woven over a mold using painted
paper strips, then taken off the mold to complete the shaping. Silk fiber is added to the
outside of the basket using varnish, then dried.
After completing the rim, the “lace” is added by
looping waxed linen. Students will have a
choice of silk and waxed linen colors. Bring
scissors, micro-clips and a tapestry needle.
Make a birch bark photo album with
spruce root and waxed linen edging. The
cover may be simple or decorated with
patches for the more ambitious. Learn
Coptic stitch bookbinding with waxed
linen as well as a Monks’ Lace closure with
leather. An optional needle lace edging is
also taught. This piece is very functional
with high quality paper and photo corners.
Combining willow bark and willow as
weavers creates a whole new dimension to
this rib-style basket. The class will learn
the basics of gathering and preparing willow bark for use in baskets and how to
combine it with willow rods. Attaching an
interesting “found” branch to a shaved rim
gives each basket a special touch and new
techniques for your weaving skills.

for construction of double base/double
wall baskets. Emphasis will be on freehand
shaping of the cathead base, shape control
and rim techniques for large baskets. Students will need to stand to weave parts of
the basket.
This is a brand new tray with all brand new
colors. It is twined using two sizes of waxed
cotton cord. The colors epitomize the Southwest. The matching glass beads are outlined to
compliment the other colors. Emphasis in class
will be on hand skills, tension and neatness.
Students need to bring small embroidery-type
scissors and a small awl. A task light may be
helpful.
Learn the art of Tenerife and the pleasure of
working with specially prepared glycerin
pine needles. Students will have their choice
of dyed with glycerin or nutty brown needles
for their one-of-a-kind work of art. This is a
great first time pine needle project and a
great way to explore the possibilities of Tenerife. Bring small sewing scissors. A task light

“Sakura” means “cherry blossom.” Cherry
is the focus of this basket: cherry base,
delicate cherry spokes and cherry rim.
Carefully placed copper overlays add a
subtle glint to your basket. Seed beads add
a touch of finesse. Students will focus seriously on shaping a small basket using a
gentle touch. Tool box provided; consider
bringing a task light.
Display fall, Christmas or spring décor, as
well as fruit, in this beautiful table basket.
Start with an oval base with the spokes
glued in prior to class. Learn to shape the
basket’s sides, as you weave, with spoke
pressure and weaver tension hints. Top the
basket with a beautiful Gretchen border.
This basket is started by inserting alternating colors of spokes into a round wood
base. Techniques include: 2 rod twining in
an over 2, under 2 weave, and twill weave
in an over 2, under 1 weave. Shaping will
be a challenge! Students will choose the
colors of their spokes to weave a Christmas, spring, fall or patriotic basket. Several tie-ons will be available for purchase.

off over the handle. The lid construction
makes this basket very versatile. You decide
lid or no lid depending on the use. Use of
willow, shaving, scalloming, double rim, and
shaping are some of the techniques to be

Using a structure of twined wire over cedar bark, this little basket transitions into
twining with x’s and woven ash. Two different borders are incorporated into the
design.
Working with Bob Coker’s ash, students
will weave a stunning twill ash basket using a charted design. Emphasis will be on
mold weaving techniques, and rim preparation and application. Twill experience is
necessary to complete basket in class. All
tools will be provided.
This Nantucket is completely unique from
the rectangular slip-on rim to the unique
base. The hardwood staves are not bent, so

This great basket is a smaller version of my
original Sock Bucket. Start on a wood base
with the spokes already glued in place. Prior
to class, students will be contacted for their
choice of two contrasting colors. The two
different size weavers add dimension to the
side weaving. Two round hoops will be
added as handles.
Students will weave a square, open base, then
learn how to get a perfect cathead shape
while using a continuous weave up the sides.
The spokes and weavers are space dyed with
two colors. The top features rows of triple
twining and start/stop weaving with natural
reed. The rim is lashed with waxed linen
using a variation of traditional lashing
stitches. Bring a large-eyed, blunt tip needle.
basket (one of the more popular sizes for
carrying everyday) begins with a woven oak
herringbone bottom and features a solid oak
handle. I will share all things concerning
white oak, from how I select my trees to the
Owens’ method of rimming. Everyone will
leave with a beautiful finished basket that
will last a lifetime.
