The sky is the limit! Use your own creativity to design and make a container similar to those of ancient civilizations. Students start with a section of a pre-cleaned natural bottle gourd. After drilling holes in the gourd, you will begin coiling with waxed linen and fragrant sweet grass. We will discuss sources for gourds, cleaning and coloring, drilling, and several different stitches that you can use. Students will learn how to grow (or buy) sweetgrass and prepare it for use. You may bring small beads, shells, or other natural items to decorate your basket. The finished basket will measure approximately 6 inches in diameter by 3 inches deep (size will vary depending on gourd shape). This class is appropriate for all levels of weaving experience. Registration is required. Call (978) 887-9264 for details. See http://www.massaudubon.org/catalog/listing.php?program_code=1377-IP12WI1 for more information.
