Participants will weave this bowl, forming it over a mold (plastic bowl) using natural and dyed reed.   The three colors of reed will be natural, smoke, and color of choice. Accent colors are teal, maroon, red, purple, forest green, or navy blue.  Participants will select their color choice as part of the registration process.  Participants will learn to insert spokes in a wooden base.  They will complete the basket using triple twining, twill weave, and start and stop rows.  Once the basket is rimmed, the overlays are added to make the triangles.  The bowl has a 6” wooden base and the top measures approximately 12” in diameter.

Ages 16 and over.

Lunch is provided by the Nome Schoolhouse.

Class begins at 9 am and will last 8 hours.

 Hi I’m Marcy Blikre.  This passion of basket weaving had a simple beginning - I signed up for basket weaving classes through Moorhead (MN) Community Education.  Little did I know it would become more than a simple pastime!  I have been weaving for over fifteen years and belong to the Headwaters Basketmakers Guild (Bemidji, MN).  I attend several workshops each year to learn various weaving techniques and to get new ideas from the teachers and fellow weavers.  As a retired educator, I love to teach basket weaving to those interested in this lost art form.  A useful basket is one of beauty and purpose.    I am drawn to weaving utilitarian style baskets using flat or round reed but will also use natural materials such as willow and birch bark.  Each basket is distinctive in size, style, color, and presentation.
