There still is a debate whether coiling is the oldest form of basketry in the world. In this workshop, we will explore this sculptural technique to create unique baskets using rope, raffia, yarn and embellishments. Great for holding all sorts of things. As well, we will make teneriffes, a base starter used in pine needle basketry, using waxed thread and a metal ring.
