2-Day Workshop: Twilled Cattail Mat

Cotati Community Center, 201 West Sierra Avenue, Cotati, CA, in the Copeland Classroom (map)
You will make plaited table mats (like the greenish one pictured) based on a central Mexican technique for rodilleros, mats for kneeling on when grinding corn at home. When new, they have a delightful grassy scent and a muted variable green color. The technique involves the frequent smacking of the fabric with a rock, so this workshop will be noisy! The mats are typically made on the floor, but we will use tables. All basket-making materials are included in the registration fee.
Participants bring: a water bowl, a wide house-painting brush, large scissors, and, if you wish to work on the floor, a thin cushion, as well as your own lunch.
Class size: maximum of 14 students
Ability level: beginners welcome
2-day workshop for guild members: $145.00 (includes materials)
2-day workshop for non-guild members: $180.00 (includes materials)
