Since 2012, the Guild has sponsored periodic weaving weekends which have been great opportunities to learn techniques and basket styles from special teachers on a smaller and more intimate scale. Our May workshop featured Sandy Bulgrin and another workshop in September was lead by Karen Griffith. Information about future Weaving Weekends will be posted on this website. Basket weaving is fun!!
