Weaving Levels
| First Basket | Weaver has never woven a basket before. |
| Beginner | Weaver has little or no experience with the materials being used for that project. For instance, if you are an intermediate reed weaver but have never worked with pine needles before, then consider yourself a beginner for a pine needle class. |
| Intermediate | Weaver is skilled at basic techniques with the materials being used. |
| Advanced | Weaver has mastered all of the basic skills and is ready to try new techniques, fibers, shaping, and creative methods. |
Tools to Bring
It is suggested that you bring your own weaving tools like scissors, awls, pencils, towel, water bucket, and measuring tape. Some teachers will have an additional tool list in the gathering web page class listing.
