Expand your paper weaving skills by creating a more advanced basket out of beautifully painted paper.  In the first session you will be painting your paper using a variety of acrylic paints.  The other two sessions will be devoted to weaving paper into a flat-backed basket with a handle long enough to hang over a doorknob or on a wall.  Must have taken Paper Basket Weaving class through LIR previously to take this class.  This class is not suitable for new weavers.  All necessary materials are provided; however, baskets can be decorated with beads provided by the participant.  Contact presenter at bayshorebaskets@yahoo.com prior to the class for information on bead sizes and quantities, which will be discussed during the first class.

NOTE:  YOU MUST BE PRESENT AT THE FIRST CLASS IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE.

First class:  Wear old clothes.  Bring stamps, sponges, or special brushes if you like; paint and basic brushes will be provided.  You will be painting your own paper for your basket, and it can get messy!

Second and third classes:  bring a pencil, ruler, or tape measure (measure up to 6 inches), and sharp scissors for paper.  Paper, floss, and other tools will be provided.  With your $25.00 fee you will paint enough paper for 2 baskets although we will focus on completing one in class.
