Daffodils, Sweet Grass, and Iris: Baskets from the Garden

Step into the exciting world of patterns and textures in coiled baskets. Using a variety of grasses including sweet grass, daffodils, irises, and sedges, we will explore combining a variety of coiled basket stitches and thread colors to create stunning designs. This class will be a unique way to explore some amazing design possibilities by adding new stitches to our creative scope. These projects will require some hand muscle endurance. Arthritis in hands can make this a challenge, but it can work, with occasional hand rest. Students ages 14+ are welcome to register for this course independently. Required Tools Scissors (if you're arriving by air, scissors will be available for you) Optional Tools Beads (size 6mm or larger) Needle nose pliers Session Information This course is part of Basket Week 2026. Plan to stay a day longer for the Gathering Day on Friday, October 9, which features demonstrations, speakers, and community gatherings offered as a benefit to students enrolled in Basket Week coursework. Full schedule available online in summer 2026.
