Do you love lots of color? Do you love texture contrasts? This workshop incorporates basketry techniques woven on the outside of a gourd. The "Hairy" techniques allows for color and texture changes while still being able to hide all the ends of reed. Weaving on the outside of a gourd gives a clean inside look. The project starts with 3 rod wale weaving with the insertion of "hairs".
