Weaving at Sea \u2026<\/strong>\"IMG_0927\"<\/p>\n

It all started when one of Sandy Bulgrin’s basket weaving students told her she had signed up to go on a knitting cruise. \u00a0Sandy responded “But – Lucille, you don’t knit?” \u00a0“I know \u2026 why isn’t there a basket weaving cruise?”<\/p>\n

That was August 2008. \u00a0One conversation turned into many, plans were made and by late September they had a travel agent, an itinerary and a cruise booked. \u00a0They were excited but they got to wondering if any other weavers would be as excited as they were. \u00a0Attending a weaving event in Valparaiso, Indiana, they asked weavers what they thought. \u00a0Would they be interested in going on a basket weaving cruise? The response was “YES”, people were excited.<\/p>\n

Now they needed teachers.\u00a0 And they needed the teachers who would commit to going on the cruise no matter how many students signed up. \u00a0Was that asking too much? Would they be willing to take the risk? Well, all you can do is ask – so they did. \u00a0And teachers were not only interested but excited. Everything was a go; Sandy and Lucille were ecstatic!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That was the beginning of the\u00a0biannual Basket Weaving Cruise. The first Basket Weaving Cruise successfully took place in February 2010. Today, plans are in place for the fourth Basket Weaving Cruise in February 2016<\/a>.\u00a0 You will want to check out their itinerary, the excursions and the great line up of basket teachers <\/a>\u00a0and basket classes<\/a>.

Challenges of Weaving at Sea<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planning and executing a basket event has challenges; a basket weaving cruise has some unique challenges.\u00a0 The biggest challenge is water. \u00a0Those big drums of water we are used to seeing at a basket event just aren\u2019t possible on a cruise. The amount of water basket weavers can use on the ship is limited and the dirty water left after basket class cannot go into the ship\u2019s filtration system.\u00a0 All dirty water must all be collected and stored until the ship returns to port where it is brought on land and dumped.\u00a0 To insure that it doesn\u2019t get put into the filtration system it is locked up every night. Yup, you read that right \u2013 the dirty water is locked up.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s security.\u00a0 All those sharp tools we use need to be considered.\u00a0 We may be using them safely and appropriately but there are rules; so weavers and teachers get special instructions about how to bring them on board and where and how to store them.\u00a0 One year a teacher had her drill locked up every night.<\/p>\n
