Monday, January 13, 2025 - Monday, February 24, 2025
Location: Archabbey Guest House and Retreat Center
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.
