SKIN & BONES: Create the bones of a sculptural form using the traditional basket making technique of twining, but with a twist. These pliable armatures will be twisted, curled or expanded into sculptural forms pleasing to the maker. Held rigid during drying and sheathing, the skeletal structure of reed will be covered with skin of decorative/ handmade papers. Selection of papers and pattern of appliqué will individualize each participant’s form creating a unique personal expression. No two will be alike. This technique/ process can be used for creating work for the wall or pedestal. Building in balance, mechanics for hangers, creating bases and care of completed sculptural work will be discussed.
