Learn to weave a basket from 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 the paper into a cat-head style basket that is a perfect size to use on a table or as a candy dish or to hold artificial flowers. No prior weaving experience is necessary; all necessary materials are provided. Baskets can be decorated with beads (not provided). Contact presenter at bayshorebaskets@yahoo.com prior to class for information on bead sizes and quantities, which will be discussed during the first class.
