Item Description
Bring a few friends or family and have a fun day learning basketry techniques with North House Folk School instructor Tina Fung Holder. No experience necessary! From cattails to red-osier dogwood, Tina works with a variety of native materials to create beautiful vessels. This basketry project offers an opportunity to focus on decorative and functional stitching techniques and explore patterns and texture with local red pine needles. You will walk away with a small basket-- your very own creation! Beginners are welcome, as with a little enthusiasm and no previous basket-making experience participants leave the workshop with a fine-looking piece. Experienced basketmakers will enjoy exploring new horizons. Tina will provide an array of basket samples and encouragement to inspire you for your next basket making endeavor.
Since 1996 Tina Fung Holder has lived and worked in northwest Wisconsin after moving from the urban city life in Chicago. While pursuing her formal education in Chicago, Tina did extensive research in basketry techniques at the Field Museum. Since moving to the north woods she has explored both traditional and new applications of the available natural materials, and thinks that anything that grows flexible is fair game. Tina enjoys developing new basket designs and teaching them in workshops. Her basketry is sold in galleries in the region.
