Twining is one of the major basketry construction methods. It is a weave done with two elements woven simultaneously around the spokes. The weaving elements (weavers) cross between the spokes for a half turn or in some instances for a full turn.
There are numerous variations of twining, including variances in the number of wefts, the number of warps crossed by the wefts and the angle of the warps. Each of these variations changes the surface appearance of the object.

My Process
•Taining artisan basic weaving on a flat sufaces
•Training them to make 3D forms.
•Developing our own language of drawing to commnicate designs with craftsperson
•Exlporing colors to be used and consider possible effects when weaving one color into another.
• Designs are possible by changing yarns or working with two different colors of yarn at one time.
• Experiment with natural and synthetic fibers for wrapping.
