Thursday, July 27 This is the day to play "catch-up"!! If you were unable to
attend a class because of a conflict, you can sign up for that missed class that you
really wished you could have taken! We may have 6 different baskets being created that
day! This always turns out to be a really exciting class! |
New this summer:
There will be a 10% discount on extra kits for the class baskets, if you
order the kits on the day of the class. Kits would be ready for pick-up within a
week after the class.
Classes are for
adults only and start at 9:00 a.m., rain or shine. This
time is one hour later than in recent years. 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 ronda@theloftbaskets.com .
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.
Weavingly yours,
Ronda

A little bit about us – We have been weaving for over 21 years and have taught
classes for 20 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. She has just been
accepted to teach at the North Carolina State Convention in March, 2007. We have
taught classes under the canopy on IXL Lake since 1994.
Ronda is a retired 1st Grade teacher 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!
