Description
Some of the finest, most beautiful baskets in the world are made with the covered coil technique. It uses one continuous, round length of core material, wound around or on top of itself in an expanding or decreasing spiral to construct the basket and lends itself to a wide variety of expressions. Silk, wool, cotton or novelty yarns will be used to cover the core material and attention given to shaping, rims and embellishing, with examples of Lynn’s coiled baskets to inspire you.
Lynn Stracka Schuster has been a handweaver since 1978 and has taught at Sievers since 1981. She finds much joy in learning about and teaching many different fiber-related arts and concentrates on combining color with pattern. Felting, weaving, coiled basketry, silk ribbon embroidery and fine beadwork are her favorites. www.lynnschusterdesigns.etsy.com
