Twining is one of the most flexible basket weaving techniques because you can use it with just about any flexible cordage or plant fiber.
This class is tailored to beginning basket weavers, but other skill levels may want to join to try weaving with this Japanese paper cord. No experience with basket weaving is required.

Cael ChappellCael Chappell’s basket making grows from his love of basketry. During his years of travel across Africa to meet and work with basket weavers, Cael discovered that basketry is as diverse as it is universal.  Cael is inspired by global weaving traditions to create his own uniquely sculptural and whimsical baskets. He conveys his interpretation of places, people, things, and ideas through basketry.
