We will begin our 2022 - 2023 year by stepping through Contemporary Wicker Basketry by Flo Hoppe. We will start with the Pincushion Basket in June.

This book is a must-have for anyone interested in basket weaving. The first half of the book contains very detailed descriptions of basket weaving techniques. The second half includes project patterns that introduce one or two new techniques for practice.

Techniques included: overlaid base, twining, English Join, overlapped join, pinching spokes for the border, basic rolled border variation 1, and randing.

Materials: No. 4 reed for spokes, No. 2 reed for weavers, 11/64 inch flat oval reed for weavers (2 feet)
