Bolton, Northumberland.

Exploring plant fibres and basketry with Anna Corbett. Twining with plant fibres consists of two pieces of material (the ‘weavers’) moving around, and crossing over between, some unmoving elements (stakes, spokes, uprights). If this was on a loom they would be the equivalent of the warp (uprights) and weft (weavers).The weavers move in a spiral around the uprights and at a certain point a piece of magic takes place and the shape turns from a square into a circle.

A combination of strokes in a specific sequence creates the finished piece. There are many questions and options to consider: direction of travel, choice of material, how to begin, what sort of pattern, with or without a handle?

Come and take part in this 2 day workshop and explore you own answers to some of these questions, which will be in our fingers.
