The focus of the Program for our Guild in 2010 will be on rib basketry and naturals, and as you can see from the above list of guest teachers, we will have lots of expert help in this department. Our goal is to create the centrepieces for the 2011 Ontario Handweavers & Spinners conference, "Back to Woodstock" that will be held in Woodstock, Ontario April 15th to 17th, 2011. This promises to be another great year for the Southwestern Ontario Basketry Guild!

Ohmygoodness! This is going to be an outstanding year for the guild and I can hardly wait to get started.
Kudos to the program committee and to the instructors...you are awesome! (insert hug here) :)
Sorry...That should have been "I can't wait"...proof reading is not a forte of mine!
Wow, wish I lived a little closer, but still, I hope to be able to attend one of your classes.

Great plans for the year!! We should all be fantastic basket makers by the end, creating our unique centrepieces for the conference.

Hi Vivian,
Thanks for your kind permission to leave the photograph on our guild blog. The class was very enjoyable, people loved your beautiful twisted handle.
