Classes are for adults only and start at 9:00 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. Call 218-682-3277 or email [email protected] . Because of the computer being used during the day for business, please call between 8 and 10 A.M., when the computer will be offline.

A little bit about
us – We have been weaving for over 19 years and have taught classes for 18 years. Ronda has been a teacher at the Indiana
Basketmakers Convention, the Missouri Basketmakers Convention, the Kentucky State
Convention, and workshops in Kentucky and Missouri. 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 over 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!
