About SOBG
Founded in April 2003, the guild has flourished and become a dedicated group of basketmakers from a wide area, meeting 3rd Saturdays 9 am to 4 pm at the Chatham Cultural Centre. Each meeting features a basketmaking class where members share their skills with each other. Some of us are beginners, some of us are teachers, but all of us cherish the fellowship and sharing of knowledge that is a part of the life of a guild.
Two mini-workshops were featured simultaneously so the large group was divided into 2 classes of 8. Some students made a pretty star of willow taught by Frances Thorn and some created a plaited box of paper, either brown wrapping paper or Christmas gift wrap, taught by Nancy Hager. People loved their little star and the paper patterns were amazing.

I know that you had fun!
I was so lucky to have Frances come visit me - and we made some stars too.
Merry Christmas to you all.
