The end of summer is just around the corner with
Labor Day happening this weekend. That means The Basket Sampler
will resume its regular Tuesday class schedule starting next
week. Tuesday morning class will be from 9:30am-12:30pm and the
Tuesday evening class will resume from 6:00pm-9:00pm. Other
classes will be scheduled by appointment.
My husband is recovering well from his broken shoulder, but will be unable to drive until February. That means I get to drive him to work and to physical therapy when he starts that. I will do my best to arrange times outside shop hours, but please give a call before you come to make sure someone is at the shop. Several people have offered to be at the shop if I can't be, so if I have to step out for a bit, there is still a pretty good chance someone can help you with what you need.
I am excited that we will be able to continue with our rug hooking classes. Suzanne Sandvik has offered to return for classes starting Monday, September 23. The class will be from 3:00pm-5:00pm on Mondays. Give Kathy a call for more information. This is a technique where you take a strip of wool and make a loop through a background. Many loops of beautiful hand dyed wools later you get a beautiful picture. There is only one stitch to learn, and we really enjoyed the classes we had in the spring. Can't wait to get started again!
There are many shows that The Basket Sampler will be participating in through the end of the year. Starting with the Michigan Festival of Gourds, September 12-15. I will be teaching a class on weaving with basket material on gourds. More information is on their website http://www.michiganfestivalofgourds.com/ I had a really good time at this festival last year. There is also a wood carver gathering at the same location and date.
October brings the Association of Michigan Basketweavers annual convention-October 16-20 at the Best Western Hotel in Lansing. Classes are still available and are on the AMB's website on the Events tab http://www.michiganbasketmakers.com/ Even if you can't take a class, there will be a vendor area, and the exhibit room will have many of the baskets from the Michigan State exhibit from a few years ago. It will be great to see some of those baskets in person again. Lansing is close enough for a day trip, so join us to see what is going on.
The next weekend, October 26 and 27, we will be attending the Fiber Expo in Ann Arbor. I will be teaching two classes there-a wool drying basket and a tapestry style basket with different yarns woven in. Check out all the available classes and there will be three rooms full of vendors to shop at.
November 2 and 4 we are going to participate in the Flint Institute of Arts First Frost Art Fair http://flintarts.org/events/artfairs.html . This will be followed by The Black Sheep Weavers sale which will be December 6 and 7. We will have a busy time getting baskets woven for all these events. Watch for more information on them as the dates get closer.
Hope to see you soon either in a class or at one of the shows we will be attending. Have a safe Labor Day Weekend-
Kathy
