Course Description

Weaving by Hadis Karami

Uncover the ancient, meditative art of structural weaving and transform raw fiber into striking form. This one-day workshop introduces coiling, a traditional basketry technique used to build three-dimensional forms by wrapping and stitching flexible materials around a core. Students will learn how to begin a coiled form, learn essential stitches, maintain tension, shape the walls, and incorporate color and simple patterns.


Through demonstrations and hands-on practice, students will create their own small coiled basket or sculptural form. Examples of traditional and contemporary coiling will also be introduced to explore how this technique can move beyond functional basketry and into contemporary art and sculpture.

Prerequisites

Students must be an adult age 18 or older to participate.
