SUMMARY:An Exploration of Twining with Rush and Soft Materials   2-Day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Twining is a foundational weaving technique and one of my favourite ways to explore pattern and shaping. In this weekend workshop\, we’ll create two projects. \nOn the first day\, we’ll work with rush/tule to weave an open‑weave twined basket. This project introduces regular twining in a spiraling open weave and offers an exploration of shaping\, increasing and decreasing spokes\, and can be finished off with a leather shoulder strap or rush side handles to make a beautiful purse you’re sure to treasure. \nOn the second day\, we’ll make a round-base basket with cedar bark spokes\, that allows us to dive into fine twining and explore a range of regular and reverse twining variations\, as well as multi-strand twining. Materials on hand will include sedge\, daylily leaves\, willow and cedar bark\, and waxed threads. You’ll have the opportunity to experiment\, explore the many pattern possibilities\, as you design your own basket with inspiration from the samples and techniques presented. \nTo Register: Fill Out this Form and Joan will email you with E-Transfer Payment Instructions. \nOpen to All Levels of experience \nDate: Saturday October 24 & Sunday October 25\, 2026 \nTime: 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. \nRegistration Fee: $370 + GST = $388.50 \nLocation: Salt Spring Lions Hall\, 103 Bonnet Ave.\, Salt Spring Is.

SUMMARY:Pine Needle Coiled Basket
DESCRIPTION:Note: Registration is Full for this Class \nHere is an opportunity to make a pine needle coiled basket using waxed linen thread as the stitching material. We will explore different ways of starting pine needle baskets and stitches such as plain and V-stitch patterns. Each participant can design their own basket working on ways to shape and create pattern with stitches and colour threads. Joan will have extra long California pine needles for you to use but she will talk about gathering and preparing local varieties of pine needles and other natural materials suitable for this diverse basketry technique. \nSuitable for beginners and for those with some basketry experience. \nThis class is taking place at the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific in Victoria\, BC \nFor Course Information: Check HCP Website
