About This Workshop
Explore experimental basketwork on turned bowls in this unique and harmonious combination. Students will learn how to bowl turn and basket-weave in one go, brush up on the fundamentals, or dramatically enhance their craft by learning how to incorporate turning and basketry together. In this extensive workshop, Janine will demonstrate how to use proper bowl turning techniques, using scrapers and gouges to create thoughtful bowls and platters with features ideal for weaving. She will discuss the various combinations and considerations when working with two materials and technical palettes, as well as demonstrate a wide variety of foundational weaving techniques adapted for turned forms. Students will leave the class with both craft techniques, an understanding of the design sensibilities involved in combining the two mediums and completed pieces that demonstrate different methods of combination. The spirit of experimentation and exploration is highly encouraged.
