Art@Booksin
For thousands of years people have woven baskets using the natural materials available to them, like willow shoots and reedy grasses.

Slide10Paint (just one coat) the interior and exterior of potInsert a piece of reed through a hole in the base. Bend the reed when it’s half-way through so that both ends point up. Using a piece of wire, tie the two sides of the reed together just above the rim of the base. Wrap the wire around the reed a few times, and tie. Repeat for all the pieces of reed. It may help to do this in pairsNow, begin weaving the basket! NOTE: some may like to weave is the reeds fall outwards versus upwardsLeave the reeds untrimmed at the top, or cut them into a uniform height. This vessel is a sculptural celebration of two ancient crafts “woven” into one!
