2020 members’ pandemic baskets



Guild members creativity!
 Although the Southwestern Ontario Basketry Guild’s workshops were postponed this year, due to COVID-10 restrictions, our members were busy weaving baskets on their own. Here are photos of some of the industriousness and creativity of our members.

Hello - I am enquiring about Jennifer Henry who was a member of your guild many years ago. I am hoping that she still is as I would like to get in touch with her. She lived in Kitchener at the time. Would you have a telephone number or email for Jennifer. My name is Wendy Petersen, cellphone - 416-906-2994. My email - wen.pet15@gmail.com
Thanks so much
