The final activity for our year of techniques, coiling involves creating a structure from looped threads there joined or stitched together. Making a coiled basket takes time, however, as this coincided with our Christmas meeting we used the technique by stitching coils over egg carton base to create an angel decoration.
Coils of twisted dressmaking tissue joined with waxed linen thread
After the base is formed the coils can be stacked to create sides to the vessel
Cordage is perfect for coiling
Wire and beaded wire can be used, fine wire needs to used to stitch/join the coils.
