Coil Basketry Images by Charlie Slate

A Project from Visual Arts Variety Pack Encore Class at Stone Academy


View Previous Years Basketry Page.

Coil Basketry

Students will learn how to use rope and yarn to make baskets. They will wrap the yarn around a length of rope, using a figure eight to connect to the previous row. They will begin with a hot plate and then make a more complicated vessel shape, with they can decorate with yarn, feathers, and/or beads.

This is a project we will use as filler. It is a long, tedious process and students can pick up the work while waiting their turn on other projects. They will leave their basketry at school until finished.
