Are you ready for the fantasy/romance/comedy, Wicker, in theaters starting Oct 23rd? As IMDb describes the movie: An ostracized fisherwoman commissions the local basketmaker to weave her a husband, but when her wicker creation proves unexpectedly extraordinary, his presence ignites jealousy and upheaval that threatens their quiet village.
Why have Peter Dinklage weave your baskets when you can weave your own? Learn the ultimate craft of the seaside fables in our new hands-on workshop: Weave Your Own Wonder. Inspired by the movie, this class teaches you how to turn simple reeds into a true masterpiece of structural integrity and soulful charm. Technically, we'll be making baskets using the core of the rattan palm plant, a tropical vine that grows 200 to 600 feet across the jungle floor. Perfect for a new husband basket.
We'll begin with lashing our spokes, which create the ribs or framework for our vessels, and then use weaver reeds to make patterns. We'll bend the forms to our will and then finish off by locking our creations together with tight, enduring knots that last through the changing seasons. Leave with a stunning basket that will get the whole village talking.
This class will take place at Swoon City. Our address is 1716 NW Market Street, Seattle, WA 98107. It's at the intersection of 17th and NW Market Street - kitty-corner from Mighty-O Donuts.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before class begins. Since occasionally our dyed reeds can stain, wear clothes that you wouldn't mind if they got a little damp or splattered.
