Spent a great three-day weekend mentoring Career Oportunity Grant receipient, Katie Haws on the fine art of antler basketmaking. She received her grant to study with me from the Region 2 Arts Council of Minnesota and the McKnight Foundation.
Katie learned how to drill into the antler correctly, glue and space the rib spokes, Southern Turn-Back technique, how to make a God’s Eye on the end of an antler tine, and much more. She started four baskets and completed all but a little on the last one!
Congratulations Katie, you did a great job and you were an excellent student. Very pleased to meet you and best wishes for all your future endevors.

Wow, today is my FIVE year blogoversary! Who would ever have thought way back in July of 2004, that I’d still be blogging about the things I love; chair caning, basket weaving and wicker repair????
Although I sometimes have a hard time coming up with topics and there have been long lapses between posts, it’s been a blast and I hope the things I’ve posted about have helped and entertained my readers.
Best wishes to you all, because without my devoted readers there wouldn’t be such an important reason to write… other than to hear myself think!
