I went on a short course at Swansea Print Workshop this weekend led by the artist Dr. Veronica Calarco. It’s called “Prints To Baskets” and she shows how to reuse those failed prints (we all have them) by converting them into hand-made baskets. This is a selection of those made by the artists participating.
The idea is to showcase the beautiful colours and textures of prints by coiling and stitching with different threads. But I sort of mas the mistake of using a ball of very hairy wool that I had hanging around in my wool bag and it sort of took over. You can’t really see the recycled print coils, but I now have a little hairy basket. It feels great.
