Experimental Basketry in Metal with Aminata Conteh Fall 2025

Through the lens of metal materials like nickel, this workshop will take you through the process of creating forms utilizing the basketry technique of coiling. Participants will learn the steps necessary to prep their metal and specific cold connection methods. The culmination of these efforts will be a unique object all their own. Most importantly, this workshop will include plenty of time for experimentation. You will be encouraged to play!
