Introduction to Coiled Vessels

Join us in learning the basics of the coiling technique to weave a small to medium size vessel.  The class will include how to start the center, splicing, design, shaping, and how to end the vessel smoothly.  

Class will include how to splice and weave in LED lights for a extra materials fee for students who have previous coiling experience.  

Please plan on approximately 10 - 12 hours spent working on your vessel between the 2 sessions.  

Materials included in your class fee - these will be given to you on the day of class.

Glue - suggested is Aleene's original Tacky Glue.  You can buy it at Target, JoAnne's, Michael's, McGuckins.
Scissors - largish and sharp 
2 colors of worsted wt wool yarn, at least 2 ply - (2-ply is best because of strength.  More than 2-ply gets a little bulky and hard to make smooth stitches)
