We have a new venue for basket classes!
After our disappointment with the cancellation of all future basket classes out at Powell Gardens, I started looking for a new place to sponsor our classes. I am happy to announce that I will now be teaching classes at Vesper Hall Community Center in Blue Springs. We have scheduled 3 classes for the Summer and Fall Season. I hope you will join us in these new projects!

This versitile basket measures 12″X 12″at the solid square base working to a 15″ round rim and measures 8″ tall, and features useful built-in handles for easy carrying.
