This basket is woven on a 6x10 oval base. This basket is great for beginners
because it displays all basic methods, such as the base twining, over and

purposes.
Students will start with a flared base and insert hardwood staves (already
tapered) directly into the base-no bending necessary. The flared base, slip on

mold, putting them together in the
only way they could have been
made. The weaving formula came
from Shaker records. The basket is
referred to as a Puzzle Cathead
because of its shape. The mold is
made in 3 pieces like a puzzle and
becomes encapsulated by the
weaving of the basket. The mold has
to come out of the basket a piece at a
time. These discoveries were made
in the early 1980's. Don't miss your
chance of weaving with a puzzle
mold derived from the original using
the exacting hand pounded black
ash Shaker material prepared by
Nathan Taylor.

The Luna Mat expresses a unique
visual design element using the twill
numbers that are characteristic in
many Chitimacha baskets. With a
little imagination you can see the
wings and bodies of Luna Moths as
you weave. In their ethereal pale
green-blue tone you might expect
the moths to gracefully take flight
and undo your weaving. You will
learn control in a 'flexing pack as
you weave' technique. Once woven
the weaving is locked into place by
twining with waxed linen.

Refund Policy
If you must cancel your registration, a full refund minus a $10 processing fee will be made if
the cancellation is made prior to March 1, 2016.
We are sorry, but after February 29, 2016, NO refunds of registration and/or late registration
fees, class fees or camping fees will be made for ANY reason. You will be responsible to make
arrangements with the teacher to get your kit, or to have your kit picked up by someone, or
you can sell your class to someone else who is already registered to attend. Neither the teacher
nor the Stateline Friends Weaving Retreat Committee are responsible to pick up your kit(s) or
send it/them to you in the event you cannot attend. You must make your own arrangements to
obtain these. If you do not make arrangements to obtain your kits, the teachers will keep the
class fees for the classes you registered for and failed to cancel by 2/29/16. The teachers need to
have their final count in to them in order to purchase materials for their classes according to
their numbers, cut kits and to determine their income and expenses ahead of time. This is a
business for them, so although we would like to accommodate you, we must be firm in this
decision. Thank you for your cooperation.
ALL payments for class fees must be received by the date SPECIFIED. Any payments that
are not received by the due date will result in cancellation of the individual’s registration, their
classes and they will not receive any portion of their registration fees back. This will be
STRICTLY enforced as we are having too many not paying on time and it takes us too much
time trying to keep sending reminders. There will be NO exceptions to this rule.
