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.  

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.  
10 yards of 8/32 Fiberflex Core  
Instructional handout

Materials list - please gather these supplies prior to class and bring them with you! 

Large tapestry needle with a BLUNT POINT 
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)

Mary took a walk in the LYS worsted wt dept and suggested these yarns for coiling a vessel:  Painted Sky, Malabrigo Rios, Sesame by Berocco, Grande Alegria and Alegria Bocados, Ultra Wool and Shepherds Wool.
