Zennie is all about the strength and versatility of round reed. It starts with an overlaid double cross base worked off of a jig so that the weaver spends time weaving and not chasing spokes. The base uses color, spoke count and a design element called “becoming” to create an irresistible base. The sides use 4-rod wale to increase platter strength and a turquoise accent band to liven things up. The wrapped core border utilizes double spokes and finishes off this hard-working platter. “This baby is so strong it just may be considered a weapon.” Bent-nose pliers and jigs will be available for class use and jigs may be purchased during Marketplace.
