It's been a long time between newsletters from The Basket Sampler.  We have been very busy the past few months.  There have been several 4H groups working on baskets in the shop.  There are a few more to get scheduled before fair time.  It's a lot of fun to see what the kids create.  We have been doing classes at several senior citizen centers.  Some of them are during regularly scheduled shop times, so if you are planning a trip to the shop make sure we are open. With regular scheduled classes with Helen and Kathy, a willow basket class with Sandy Whalen, and some group classes, it's been a busy spring.   Now the push is on to get some more baskets woven as we are participating in several art shows over the summer and into the fall.  And I suppose it's time to start thinking about Christmas colors.

If you come into the shop on a Thursday, you may find Caitlin helping out.  You will recognize her by her (currently) purple hair!  She has been a huge help with dying reed.  She has a great sense of color, and delights in blending colors that are exactly what is requested.  Her biggest challenge is trying to keep me and the shop organized and clutter free.  If you have a color request let her know and she will do her best to match it for you. 

There will be a change in the class schedule starting the week of June 17.  I am taking a class on Tuesday evenings, so we are moving the Tuesday night class to Thursday night.  Saturdays will be by appointment during the summer.  Here is a list of the current schedule:

                                Tuesday            10am-4pm   class from 10am-1pm
                          Wednesday      10am-4pm
                          Thursday          10am-4pm    class from 6pm-9pm
                          Friday               10am-4pm
                          Saturday and other times by appointment

We will resume the regular schedule in September.
