Monday, July 9 -- Peanuts Basket Put peanuts in one side and the
shells in the other. This basket keeps the
eating of peanuts nice and tidy! The
top of the basket measures 11 long and 5 wide. You
may use all colors of dyed reed for the stakes like my example or choose one color or
natural. There are several ways to use color
on this basket!

Thursday, July 26 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 3 different baskets
being created that day! This always turns out to be a really exciting class! |
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. 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.
