Tidewater Basket Guild hosted its annual Guilders Weave over MLK weekend. All events were held in the Mariott Hotel in Newport News, VA.
Weavers and instructors arrived for 4 days of basket workshops and lots of fun and fellowship. Participants came from all over the East Coast and Midwest.
I had two classes with Lori McCoy. Both projects coiled pine needles around a center disk. One project added beads and was a made into a night light.
The second project was around a disk of dried flower incased in resin. It was designed to be used as a suncatcher.
Pam Philpott prepared a Fire Tree seed pod to be coiled around. It was a random weave of pine needles of our own design. I added wooden beads within the coils. I added natural pods and a feather as the finishing accent.
The Cracker Basket was coiled around a wooden oval It was a more traditional stacked coil vessel using the "V" stitch.
