Sculptural Basketry Techniques Workshop (private event)
Exploring artistic expression through fiber art can be a captivating journey. From weaving, knitting, embroidery or basketmaking, the versatility of fibers allows artists to create intricate textures and forms. By experimenting with different techniques and materials, one can discover the endless possibilities of fiber art. Whether it's through traditional methods or innovative approaches, finding form with fiber offers a unique way to bring creativity to life.
Explore your intuitive and creative self while learning the basic techniques of basketweaving, twining, coiling, and looping using plant material, tree branches, cordage, waxed linen thread, and yarn.
This hands-on workshop is not about producing a finished piece by the end of the meeting. There isn’t enough time. You will start weaving techniques to create mini samplers that may inspire you to delve into unexplored areas of your fiber arts journey.

Three days connecting with Nevada’s diverse arts and culture community of artists, educators, arts, business, and community leaders in workshops, art tours, networking, learning, and collaboration opportunities with arts leaders from across our state, as well as national and regional organizations.
