Workshop description - In A
Nut Shell - wrapping a balloon with layers of yarns, threads; painting it with
Stiffy; letting it hang till dry; popping the balloon to remove from form;
cutting the sphere in half; using basketry techniques to finish the cut edge in
some decorative style; OR any sculptural shapes you can think of to make from
stiffened forms! And basically
inspiring one another and being creative.) These are the only two examples of the many possibilities! We will be making bowls, lamps, and
