Basket Weaving Tips

From Jan Ihrke:

Use a small piece of sponge to rewet your lasher if it dries as you apply your rim. This works especially well on cane.

From Kathy Falk who learned it from Teri Williams:

When starting to work with a new coil of round reed, wet the whole coil and pull 2 to 3 pieces at a time from the unbound end and coil together in a roll. Do the whole bundle and let dry and store in a shopping bag. The next time you need some it will be all separated and ready to use in small coils.

If you have a tip you'd like to share in a future newsletter and have added to this website, email it to shirley@adamczak.net or jot it down and bring it to a guild meeting.

President's Message

Hi Everybody,

Spring is just around the corner and the Board is already planning for our last meeting of the season in May. As most of you know, we will have been in existence as a guild for 10 years so we will celebrate with a picnic and a commemorative basket project. I hope to see most of our members there to help celebrate. If you know former members, please invite them to join us too.

Look for more announcements about the May anniversary celebration about the middle of April.

Happy Weaving!

Kathy Falk
