Palm Seed Stem Wall Basket

Class description

Students will create these artistic wall pockets made from palm inflorescence and reed. The pockets will be created using a mold and will have a defined shape. We will make the molds in class for students to keep for future projects. This technique can be used with other materials and branches. It is very natural but refined in shape which makes them very appealing. We will have color choices available in class to apply.

This class is for all levels of gourders.

I will supply palm inflorescence, reed, dyes, hanger.
