@ Jaren:  Sure!  We have room for that many and I've got the materials prepared already, so you're fine. Thanks for letting me know.  It looks like the weather might even cooperate for our urban tour of landscape materials good for basketry!  The weaving itself will happen inside so our fingers stay nimble and we can snack on home-baked rhubarb coffee cake while we weave!  See you soon!

My family decided to attend! I'm sorry, I forgot to post on here sooner! We will have 5 people, I will check this or phone you tomorrow to see if that is OK!

OK thanks! I will see what my Mom would like to do!

@Jaren: I certainly understand the desire to participate in more than one of all the wonderful events happening simultaneously!  If you and your mom are content with doing just the landscape tour and materials preparation portions of the workshop, do come for just half.  If you want to weave a basket from what is gatherable in an urban landscape, you will need to be here for the whole workshop and maybe check the movie out and have a private showing another time. Whatever you decide, I hope you have a great time sharing with your mom for Mother's Day weekend!

I was thinking of bringing my Mom but we also wanted to go see the Economics of Happiness movie. Would it make any sense to come to half of the workshop?

Hi Terese,

 

Thanks for signing up and for thinking of good materials for basketry.  Red osier dogwood is a prime favorite with basket makers because of its bright color and long, flexible rods.  Please do bring what you have and I can show the class a little about preparing that material.  We won't be able to use it right then since it needs a couple of months to cure, but it will be a great resource for future basket-making workshops.  I have space in my drying room for more rods, so I can take them for curing after the workshop.  See you then!

Hi Irene,

 

Can you use lots of red osier dogwood branches for basket making?  We are cleaning out a lot of overgrown shrubs on my property in Ferndale and I don't want to just burn them.  We can save bundles and I will get them to you if you want them, at your workshop that I signed up for.

 

Thanks!

Terese
