| Title |
Creative Basketry with Georgia Crook |
| Description |
Over the weekend you will create an unique basket and maybe a second piece. The workshop will concentrate on using willow and lots of other natural materials - rush, bark, larch, birch, broom, moss and all kinds of other materials. Although based upon the application of traditional techniques you will be producing creative and experimental basketry of both sculptural and functional form. Because you will be using materials of your choice the techneques of weaving and forms you will be able to create will vary. Georgia will demonstrate different techniques for different materials. |
About the tutor
|
Georgia uses wild materials found around her home to make her inventive
and unusual baskets. She has had work shown in galleries and
exhibitions all over the British Isles and in Europe, and has a piece
of work in the permanent collection of the National Museums of Scotland...
We're very lucky indeed to have her here. (Kate Sankey)

Prerequisite knowledge/skills
|
No previous skills are required to come on this workshop although some understanding of basic basket making techniques would be useful. |
Course format
|
Georgia will demonstrate different techniques for different materials. Although based on traditional basket making techniques this will be a really special opportunity to benefit from Georgia's expertise. The weekend will be structured to ensure that you each produce a basket / creation in the time available but there will be a chance to experiment and to practice using different materials.
Georgia will provide a series of small projects to introduce you to a set of techniques - you will then be able to apply them to larger pieces with lots of help and tuition. |
After completing this course...
|
You will have created a basket / piece which will be unique. You will also have learnt how to deal with different materials and how to extend your basic basketry skills into something which has no bounds! |
