I will be introducing two methods of Basketry - coiling and weaving. Once students have learned these techniques, they will be encouraged to use them to produce their own individually crafted bowl. By the end of the course they will be proficient in the two methods of Basketry to begin their own ongoing journey with fibre.
I first learned Basketry at Albany Summer School in 1985. In 1987, I was chosen to exhibit at the Crafts Council of Western Australia's Centre and the Bunbury Regional Art Gallery. I have also exhibited at the Viewpoint (1993) exhibition. My involvement with the Albany Summer School began in 1988 as a tutor and then subsequently from 2018 to 2024. I have taught Basketry throughout Western Australia from Margaret River, the Mt.
Barker Arts Centre, Stirling Range Fibre Weekend, Vancouver Arts Centre in Albany and Pemberton at the Fine Woodcraft Gallery.
