About the workshop:
Learn how to create a basket using a traditional twining technique. We will incorporate found and reused items into these baskets to create one-of-a-kind objects. Create the basket shape of your choice, you can go large or small! No experience necessary, but if you have materials you would like to incorporate, feel free to bring them along.

Art, and others. Julia has exhibited nationally and internationally, and currently teaches as adjunct faculty at Virginia Commonwealth University.
