Student Work on Display: Basket Weaving and “Concealment and Diversion”

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Basketweaver Alexa Rivera, visiting from Vermont Studio Center, joined faculty member John Umphlett's class for a day to share skills and techniques related to working with rattan reeds specific to fabrication of baskets and vessels. 

The following week, the class was asked to use these new techniques directed at an extended project prompt. This second part of the students project was meant to use the newly learned skills pushing up against a personal response to the words "concealment" and "diversion."
