STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:In this intensive six-day basket course\, students will learn t
 he whole process of white oak basketry. Starting from the log\, students w
 ill process their own materials by splitting\, cutting\, and scraping oak 
 wood splints\, transforming it from tree to weavable material. There will 
 be an opportunity to use some natural dyes on the splints to add color to 
 the basket. Once all the material is prepared\, students will use a horizo
 ntal plain weave to create a sturdy\, long lasting basket. The finished ba
 sket will measure roughly 5”x10"x6”\, with potential for adding a handle. 
 This is a rare\, immersive opportunity to work with white oak and learn fr
 om a highly respected and accomplished instructor. Required Tools A sloyd/
