Limited openings are left in the August basket weaving workshops sponsored by the Pagosa Springs Arts Council. Pat Jeffers, whose basketry art is represented in galleries, museums and private collections around the country, is offering two workshops in Pagosa Springs: the first is August 13-16 and the second is August 18-21. Both workshops will be held at the Community Center in Pagosa Springs. The cost of either of the workshops is $400 per person. All weaving materials are furnished including braids, dyed reeds, antlers, sanded wood, sea grass cord, coir, beads and sugar palm fiber. These will be Pat’s last workshops in Colorado.
Beginners and experienced weavers alike can learn Pat’s techniques and create stunning baskets! The August workshops will emphasize woven wall hangings. Beginning weavers will have a choice of smaller projects including one of the new antler or driftwood tool pot designs.
To learn more or to reserve your spot in one of the workshops, contact Barbara Rosner at info@rosnercreative.com or call 970-264-6502. A deposit of $200 is required to confirm your place in the workshop.
 Pat Jeffers is known for her designs of swirling, shifting patterns of color and texture reminiscent of our western landscape. She weaves her baskets with superior quality reed which she hand dyes with Procion dyes that chemically bond with the reed to provide vibrant, light-fast colors. She also incorporates braided fabric, beads, driftwood or antlers to add texture and interest to the baskets. You can view her work and learn more about Pat on her website. |
