Random weave is an intuitive and organic form of basket weaving, and can be employed to make both functional vessels and sculptural works of art. Learn this simple and meditative technique and explore using a range of natural materials to create a basket. Angela will share techniques for beginning your vessel by creating a template, and students will then be able to expand their design in an intuitive fashion. No experience necessary. All supplies provided.
