Palm Seed Stem (Inflorescence) Random Weave Baskets with Jelena Clay

Palm Seed Stem (Inflorescence) Random Weave Baskets with Jelena Clay

Try your hand at creating Palm Seed Stem (inflorescence) Random Weave Baskets in this fun, hands-on workshop with Jelena Clay on Saturday, November 2, 2019, from 9am – 1pm at Volcano Art Center Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village.

This class will teach students how to take an inflorescence, palm seed stem and manipulate it into a defined shape.  The baskets will have a leather hanger to hang on the wall.  Students will create a mold in the class which will define the pocket shape and we will use reed to weave the shape. Dyes will also be available to add a little color if desired.  All supplies will be provided to make a wall basket (extra supplies will be available).  If you have a favorite bead or seed pod, bring it and we can add it. Embellishments will be available if students choose to add them.

Class fee is $55/$50 for VAC members plus a $30 supply fee. Jelena will provide the palm seed stems, mold supplies, leather hanger, and embellishments. Pre-registration is required.

Jelena Clay is a master fiber artist and nationally recognized gourd artist who has produced an ever-increasing variety of contemporary and traditional work in every natural fiber she can find.
