In this class you will learn how to hand coil a fibre basket. You will learn how to start, shape and finish a basic small basket, how to use a variety of materials, and what can be used for the core. Studies have explored the relationship between creativity and well-being: the benefits of the mesmeric immersion in crafts creating states of contentment and focus. Once learned this simple coiling technique will lead to marvellous weaving opportunities.
It’s been around for millennia, the basket. The spiral is integral to the coiled basket. Cultural anthropologist Angeles Arrien in her book about the five universal shapes says “The spiral symbolizes the process of growth and evolution. It is a process of coming to the same point again and again, but as a different level, so that everything is seen in a new light.” The spiral is integral to the coiled basket.
