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!
Fee:
24.00

Monday, July 23 -- Big Smokey
This is a large tote that uses smoked reed and natural reed for a very pretty two-toned
effect. Braided leather handles provide a
great final touch. The basket is 13” high
and its base measures 13” long and 5 ½” wide. At
the top of the basket it measures 15 ½” long and 11 ½” wide. You have the option to choose another color instead
of the smoked reed.
Fee: 58.00

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!
Another way to play "catch-up": You can bring a kit that you never
had time to get finished, but there will be a $10 space/instruction fee. |
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 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

Indiana, Kentucky, and Missouri. We have taught classes under the canopy on IXL Lake since
1994. Ronda is a retired 1st Grade
