Weave a ‘Melon Basket’

Jodie Goldring is a notorious gleaner, artist and teacher who brings a broad range of creative experiences to her basketry.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to use natural materials to make a small melon basket using the traditional basketry technique of ribbed construction.

Starting by lashing two intersecting willow hoops together to create a basic framework, we’ll add ribs for structural integrity and strength before creating a woven surface using plant materials such as iris, red-hot poker, bulrushes, watsonia, and willow.

As well Jodie will share information about how to collect, dry and prepare your own materials to use at home.

Workshop fee: $110, plus $20 for materials paid to Jodie at the workshop.
