Holiday Cherokee Double-Wall Basket Weaving Workshop Instructor: Laura Borders ——————————————————————————————— $85 Resident/$106 Non-Resident November 12 & 13 • Friday & Saturday 11 a.m.– 4 p.m. Students create a Cherokee double-wall basket from natural reed with instruction from Cherokee citizen and artist, Laura Borders. She will demonstrate the mechanics of weaving a Cherokee basket which include making and shaping the base, learning to weave with two runners instead of one, adding more spokes to support a larger form and reducing spokes to create more diverse shapes. Each student creates their own unique basket using hand-dyed reeds and beads to incorporate the element of color and design into their basket. A kit fee of $50 (payable to the instructor in cash at the beginning of the workshop) provides everything needed to create a basket with beads. NOTE: This is a wet process; students should bring a towel from home and perhaps an apron. Bring a sack lunch and beverage to enjoy during a short lunch break. This workshop is designed for those who have taken previous basket weaving workshops with Laura or with prior basket weaving experience. Class Code: WW26528.2

Primitive Rug Hooking Instructor: Gina Crowder Levesque ——————————————————————————————— $40 Resident/$50 Non-Resident November 20 • Saturday 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. Fabric was an important and often scarce commodity in days gone by. Rug hooking is akin to quilting in that it utilized scraps unsuitable for clothing to produce rugs that warmed the floors of early homes. Unlike latch hook, primitive rug hooking uses strips of fabric drawn up through a base layer to produce a nap. In this half-day workshop, students learn the basic technique and complete a small pattern to take home. A kit fee of $50 (payable to the instructor) provides the design on backing, rug hook, and all the wool strips needed to complete the design. Large embroidery hoops will be provided by the instructor for use during class. No previous experience required – all skill levels are welcome. Workshop is limited to twelve (12) students. Class Code: WW26529.2
