10th Annual Silver Dollar City Basket Seminar

June 5th, 2008 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog


Everyone had a great time at the 10th Annual Silver Dollar City Basket Seminar in Branson, Missouri last month. Lots of wonderful and innovative classes were offered by the teachers and the students went home with some great treasures that they wove over the May 15-17th weekend.

I took a few pictures of the students in two of my three antler basket classes, and feel badly that I forgot to take any from the last class. Those gals did a great job, and I’d like to show their accomplishments too, but can’t. Sorry gals!

The Basket Seminar will be held in Branson again next year on April 14, 15 & 16th. Stay tuned for updates and check out all the remaining basketry classes for this year on my Events Calendar page on WickerWoman.com

I was very pleased to hear that the Headwaters Basketmakers Guild in Bemidji, Minnesota chose my “Antlers Sitting Pretty” antler basket as the logo for the 13th Annual Headwaters Basketweavers Spring Workshop. It will be printed on the brochures, and on the t-shirts and sweatshirts that are available for purchase.

The workshop will be held at the Salolampi Finnish Village at Concordia Language Villages in Bemidji, MN on April 18th – 20th, 2008.

I will be teaching the antler basket class and two birch bark classes over the three-day workshop. Other teachers are: Janet Olney, Sandy Quint, and Tressa Sularz.

Brochures should be available soon. Contact: Eve Sumsky, 481 Lake Ave. NW, Tenstrike, MN 56683 or epbensum@paulbunyan.net
