As part of The Scottish Felters Summer School, Anna will be offering a 2 day workshop, 'Memory baskets'
Think of a person, a place, a season, a connection......
Could you collect together items that relate to this that could be incorporated into a basket, woven, threaded or trapped?
My example is based on a visit to the beach, where I collected shells, pottery shards, driftwood, seaweed, sea glass, grasses, and string from nets. Using a willow frame basket as the structure I threaded shells onto the rods I was weaving, I created pockets to trap shards of pottery, wrapped the rods around driftwood, and wove in felts reflecting the colour and textures of the water.
Cost £140 including basic materials.
