Sculptural Basket Weaving: Object Form and Ornamentation Session 3

Monday, November 18, 2024 - Monday, December 9, 2024
Location: Archabbey Guest House
Session Faculty: Br. Jean Fish, OSB

(Maximum Class Size: 10)

Participants will learn various techniques for creating woven vessels such as a hanging ornament, a bowl, and a cup. These objects will provide a fundamental understanding of basket weaving that can be adapted for individuals’ creative vision. The use of various colored yarns will also allow participants to generate a wide variety of patterns.

 

During sessions where there is Class A and Class B, participants choose one out of the two time slots.

Br. Jean Fish, OSB, a monk of Saint Meinrad Archabbey, has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a Masters of Theology from Saint Meinrad Seminary & School of Theology, and a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology from Sonoma State University. He is a fiber artist who works primarily with sculptural basket weaving. While pursuing his Bachelor of Fine Arts, his work discussed grief and the role that contemplation can have during the search for peace. (instagram.com/brjeanfish)
