Saturday & Sunday, August 3 & 4, 1-5 pm ---  5th Annual Basket Boutique.  The “Gallery” and “Store” will both be open.

Classes are for adults only and start at 8:00 a.m., rain or shine.  Wear layers, because we often start the class “cool” and end up “warm”!  You might wish to bring insect repellent, since we are outdoors.  Bring your tools: shears or scissors, tape measure, basket tool (or screwdriver), needle-nosed pliers, and clothespins.  Bring a plastic bag to put your stained basket in.  Feel free to bring a drink and/or a little snack, since class usually runs through the noon hour.  If you are unable to attend a specific class on the regular date, we will be happy to schedule a special class for four or more people. 

 

Weavingly yours,

Ronda

A little bit about us – We have been weaving for over 18 years and have taught classes for 16 years.  Ronda has been a teacher at the Indiana Basketmakers Convention, the Missouri Basketmakers Convention, and workshops in Kentucky.  We have taught classes under the canopy on IXL Lake since 1994.  We are both school teachers.  Ronda teaches 1st Grade and Jim teaches high school German.  We have 5 children and have been deeply involved with soccer for nearly 30 years!   We enjoy our summers Up North and look forward to the excitement of the basket classes.  If you have never made a basket, do come and join us.  You leave class with a finished basket!
