June 13, 2024Saint Meinrad Archabbey Guest House and Retreat Center will host a series of four-week basket weaving workshops starting in July, taught by Br. Jean Fish, OSB. The workshops are titled “Sculptural Basket Weaving: Object Form and Ornamentation.”
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 each individual’s creative vision. The use of various colored yarns will allow participants to generate a wide variety of patterns.

The second session will be offered on these Mondays in September and October: September 9, 16, 30, and October 7, from 9 to 11 a.m. or 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Central Time.
