When setting up the year's program, a range of techniques and materials is covered, from manufactured reed to naturals and from beginner to intermediate level. Monthly meetings feature a class for members and guests. Here is the look of the program for the current year including a couple of classes that were cancelled due to winter weather. A few kits for the February onion/garlic basket are available for $15.

Some guild members are meeting in July to set up the 2010 program which will feature a number of rib basket techniques in a range of materials. Members please send your ideas to the Program Chair, Linda, or better still, come out to the meeting.

This is a wonderful program...I'm having such a great time with the Basketry Guild! The instructors for the baskets are outstanding (and very patient)...gotta love 'em.

Hey, I figured out how to leave a comment!!! I am so enjoying being a part of SOBG. I've made four baskets now and each one has been challenging and interesting to make. I look forward to each new one and the instructors are awesome!
Thanks, all.
