Basket Weaving Miniatures Fi Oberon This tiny basket is a perfect accessory for your mini needle felted creatures and other whimsy. You will make your little basket from paper covered wire which looks remarkably realistic when woven into shape. Using the same traditional basketry techniques that are used for full scale works, you will be guided to make a mini basket that you can repeat in many different sizes at home. Ideas for embellishing the baskets will be discussed and many examples will be on hand to inspire you. Suitable for all abilities. On Sunday this is an Early Morning class, which starts and finishes before the show is open, so that you will avoid the queues and have a whole day shopping!
