Snacks included; students may also bring their own meals or snacks
Comfortable, casual pace with plenty of time for questions and practice
Class size limited to ensure personalized instruction
Shaping techniques: manipulate rods to develop a graceful, curvaceous form rather than a flat, rigid structure.
Weaving methodically: follow a consistent sequence to build the Tatza’s knotwork and body.
Raising the basket: pull the basket up smoothly from a flat base to a rounded, functional shape. (Or, keep the form flat and use as a wall art piece)
Finishing touches: trim, tidy, and secure ends for a durable, polished final piece.
No prior experience required — suitable for beginners and those with basic basketry experience. Average manual dexterity and strength needed.
Small-group, hands-on workshop with instructor demonstration and close guidance.
Time: typically 3–4 hours depending on your personal pace.
All materials and tools provided.
