Outline of the workshop
In this workshop, Ann Coddington will introduce the ancient basketry technique of twining. Students will explore basketry as a non-functional, sculptural process capable of expressing ideas and carrying meaning beyond the utilitarian aspects of traditional forms. We will learn the basics of twining using waxed linen and spring twine, two ways to begin a twined form as well as how to sculpt with twining. Also, we will connect, interact, express, create and have fun exploring this technique that has existed for over 20,000 years!

A material pack will be sent to participants in advance of the workshop containing the following materials:

• Waxed linen, brown and white
• Spring twine
• Weaverite tool
• Large eye needle
• Colour handout

Students will need to have on hand:
Sharp scissors
