Threads 126: Upcoming basketry class with Agnes Niewiadomski
Spring has sprung and things are shifting here at the Lanark Highlands Basketry Museum. Stay tuned...
In the meantime, our workshop series continues!
Next up is our Fairy Baskets and Cordage with Agnes Niewiadomski.
Agnes is passionate about teaching hands-on skills and spreading the joy of making through a multitude of crafting including basketry. She teaches around the Waterloo Region through day camps, workshops, festival events, craft kits. More recently Agnes’ love of stick work has led her back into the world of public art making where she collaborates with community groups to create woven sculptural installations. She is excited to continue down this path and to see where the weaving work will take her next.
Learn to weave a “fairy basket" made from willow bark, garden leaves and other natural materials. This is a beginner level workshop that will introduce you to fundamental weaving techniques and material preparation, with no prior weaving experience is required.
