Basket Weaving with Barbara Shapiro

  • San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles 520 South 1st Street San Jose, CA, 95113 (map)

In this in-person workshop explore a flexible sturdy open weave technique in colorful cane. It is amazing how strong a hexagonal plaited structure is. Two projects to be completed in class: a tablet or mobile phone rest and a small hanging basket. The hexagonal structure can be manipulated into many shapes and over woven in materials of your choice to create stunning sculptures. Enjoy seeing how others have employed hex weave. Open your mind to working sculpturally or just create some useful gift items.
