Back to the Grind

Back to the Grind:

Unloading and re-organizing in the makeshift studio today. Good day for it as it RAINED most of the day. This week it's supposed to get into the 90's however so I'm using my time wisely because when it gets that hot there is only one option - GO TO THE RIVER.

I've been cranking out the structures in preparation for the next couple of classes. We're heading to Grenetta Bray's in Garfield, AR on June 26th for the BYO Antler class. There's still room for you if you ever wanted to learn how to talk to an antler. Actually we're going earlier because Grenetta is taking us to Tallequah, OK! Are we excited or what! After that we're heading to Flintridge, OK to learn how to process Rivercane and weave Cherokee baskets. Should be a very fun week.

Turning up the heat:

Not only does it get hot around here in July the pace is going to pick up as well. We start off the month with fireworks as Jenn gets...all FIRED up with a fire performance at the Hungry Owl on the 3rd. The groupie (Mom) is in charge of fire extinguisher, placement of poi, and music. Then we're off to Camden, TN for a one day Hen basket class. Following that we head to South Carolina to the Upper South Carolina Basketweavers who are offering a wall pocket, hen, and fanned market classes. The finale for the month is when we head to Alcoa and the Tennessee Basketmakers Association convention - always a favorite!


MI, OH, WV:

Looks like we will be heading to West Virginia in November for the WVBA convention, in Vienna, WV on November 13-15. We'll be offering the Unitower, wall pocket, and hen baskets.

2010 is starting to shape up. In February we'll be in attendance at the GBA basketry convention in Georgia offering the Porkypod, wall pocket, and small hen on the 5-7, then off to the Crossroads Getaway in Michigan on Feb 12-13, and finally we'll be at Winter Weave in OH on the 19-20.
