May 8th, 2008 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog
The Headwaters Basketmakers Workshop was a big hit last month in Bemidji, Minnesota!
It was a weekend of chocolate and basketry and boy, did we indulge! The theme was Chocolate, so it was everywhere, at meals and in the classes.
There were about 50 attendees taking all sorts of basket classes from the traditional reed baskets to my contemporary antler baskets and birch bark baskets.
It’s been hinted that in coming years the theme might be “Return of the Trolls,” so stay tuned!

We all had a great time at the Headwaters Basketmakers Workshop in Bemidji, Minnesota last month. The focus was on a weekend of chocolate and basketweaving!
All the t-shirts and sweatshirts were created in a deep dark chocolate brown color with my "Sitting Pretty" Antler Basket Sculpture as the logo. And in every class, during all the meal breaks and during the banquet the theme was CHOCOLATE!
It’s been hinted around that next year’s theme might be "The Return of the Trolls" so keep in touch!
