Class Information

Class times and dates can be found in my monthly newsletter. I travel most months teaching and vending at various basket conventions and retreats so, unfortunately local classes at this time are limited. If you are interested in hosting a class in your home or another location, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to make it happen!  All classes listed are for adults.

No need to bring anything, just yourself.  I have scissors, buckets, tools, etc.  Dress for a mess!  In basket weaving we use water and dyed reed, which sometimes can “bleed”.   You will leave with your basket unstained – I do provide a tip sheet on staining techniques and we will go over it in class.

Information Inquiry

If you are interested in more information on holding a class at your home, business, church, etc. contact me for more information.  

I supply all of the tools – you just need to bring yourself!
