Come learn how to lash a bone structure and weave with ease using natural materials. Learn how to introduce a project like this one to your 7th-12th grade students. Using river reeds, you will follow instructions to create a vessel of your own. You can choose to add color or beads to your design. I invite you to bring in your own charms and small toys, any things that the reed can pass through, thereby being woven into your basket (this lesson pairs well with polymer clay projects). It gets a little wet sometimes because we must soak the wood in water for malleability. Get ready to have some fun!
