Looping is an apparently simple basketry technique that has lots of variations to produce different patterns and textures. You will learn several of these variations, as well as looping around a core, to produce round vessels as well as rectangular pouches. You will be encouraged to experiment with a range of fibres, both natural and manmade, to produce different results.
The tutor will bring in and discuss relevant samples and demonstrate techniques. You will practise the techniques with observation and feedback from the tutor. You will also work on an individual project, where you will share your knowledge and experience with the group through discussion and show and tell.
No previous experience is necessary, but a degree of manual dexterity is required.
