Open Weave Basketry
Open Weave Baskets, sizes vary
Round reed
I learned this weaving method from the incomparable Flo Hoppe at the 2019 National Basketry Organization’s biennial held at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KT. This open weave allows me to create light, airy, and organic forms. The various rim finishes seen here were either taken directly from or grew out of my reading of Flo Hoppe’s amazing basketry books. These baskets are excellent for fruit and veggies as the allow for airflow.
