Random Weave Basket with Sarah Bell

Practice mindful creativity with random weave basket making with artist Sarah Bell. Using foraged natural materials, we will create meaningful basket vessels that embody land and spirit. Learn how to sustainably gather and forage vines and incorporate plant material into your baskets. This class is for beginners, and all participants will leave with a basket of their own creation. All materials provided; however, the instructor does suggest you bring a pair of pruners to enhance your experience. All participants will need moderate hand strength to complete their baskets. This class is for ages 18+. The minimum for this class is 7, and the maximum is 15. If the class does not meet the minimum, participants will be refunded.

If the class does not meet the minimum by the registration deadline and the workshop is cancelled, all participants will be refunded their registration fees. About Sarah Bell: Sarah Bell is an artist, farmer, and educator based in Birmingham, Alabama. Descended from Chinese and American ancestry, she grew up using art and creativity as a way to find a sense of connection to her experiences of familial migration, grief, and home. She is greatly influenced and inspired by the use of natural and sustainable materials, ancestry of people and land, as well as ancient craft processes and land tending techniques that interweave into her daily engagement with place, materiality, and its impermanence. Made possible in part by the Alabama State Council on the Arts.
