Wolf River Basketry Guild’s Fall Retreat

September 28, 2016/0 Comments/in Basket Weaving Events /by Annetta K

And I am home from another great basket retreat … Shawano WI 2016

the Wolf River Basketry Guild hosted their annual Fall Retreat in Shawano, Wisconsin.

And we had basket weaving classes – three days of classes!Shawano WI 2016

Gina Kieft was there teaching

and so was Char Ciammaichella – you  can’t see Char, but you can see people were enjoying her classes.

I taught three classes, one of them a new basket,

Twines and Braids

The four strand braid was a new technique for most of my students.   I plan to tweak the pattern this week, then I will release it next week when I post the tutorial for the four strand braid.

And you will notice Kathy made it ‘her way’.  I call it her Frank Sinatra basket 😉

My students worked hard on the base of my Three Squared basket

and you can see that they worked it out!  Everyone’s basket turned out beautiful!

And I taught Flight.

Flight is a beautiful little basket with a number of Ti-Twining techniques. A lattice work base (sometimes called a chevron base) and arrows on the sides.

And we had lots of fun colors – from spring green to hot pink!

The event was pretty relaxed, everyone enjoyed weaving and shopping and visiting (mmm, Judi, weren’t you supposed to be in my class?) 😉 We really did have a great time!!

Each year, the Wolf River Basketry Guild hosts two events, a spring workshop and a Fall Retreat.  You will want to check out their website www.wolfriverbasketguild.com.

Thanks for reading the Basket Teacher!
