INLAND SEA BASKETRY LIQUIDATION SALE – A NOTE FROM GAIL TRYGSTAD

Thank you for letting me "set up shop" at the Guild meeting in October. I enjoyed being surrounded by such a large group of basket weavers basking in their skill! I'm glad the Guild is doing so well and going strong!

Thank you all for your kind words, your inquiries, purchases and thoughtful compliments. It was fun to reminisce with several of you about basket classes that Tricia and I taught years ago. It's great to see so many of you totally engrossed and engaged in this marvelous art!

We do have supplies left to sell as we liquidate our business. The flat and flat oval reed prices are $3.75 - 3.90/lb, sea grass $2.50 and round reed $4.00/lb. Handles and patterns are half priced. If you would like to purchase any of these items, I would be happy to deliver supplies to you (I work at UMD and am in Duluth M-F) or you are certainly free to stop by the shop and take a look at the supplies we have there. We do have a few more items that I didn't bring with me on Saturday, including more free dyed reed, free coils of 'seconds' reed and some free unfinished baskets! Please give me a call before you drive up to the shop since hours are by appointment. You can contact me as listed below:

President's Message

Hello Fellow Basket Buddies,

We are in another season of the year, preparing for the winter months ahead. It’s a great time to settle in and make some baskets. We have what looks to be some great classes coming up this next year. I hope you take the opportunity to make some new baskets that are being offered by our own and visiting instructors.

Our holiday class in December will be a fun get-together, probably with pizza and pop, as we have done before. This will be discussed at our November meeting. You will be informed then if we will be doing our basket exchange again this year.

If you are interested in teaching a class this coming year, please let us know – we are always happy to add more classes each month. Best wishes to all of you for a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year ahead.

Jan Ihrke
