It took her only one day to respond. There are two levels to the Certificate of Excellence in Basketweaving. I is design, color theory, actual dyeing of reed with natural and synthetic dyes, basketry samples, and research papers. The basketry samples and papers are the parts which take some time to complete. There are 24 samples that need to be woven that cover the broad range of basket weaving techniques and styles.
Some examples are diagonal plaiting, twill, coiled and knotless netting.
These are judged based on technical skill and execution. The research papers are on natural basket weaving materials. Level II is a specialized study and in-depth research. You would need to submit an outline and statement of purpose that three reviewers look over and give suggestions on. These reviewers work independently and remain anonymous to each other and to you.
