This is an eight week course teaching the fundamentals of basket making.  Each basket made will build on the skills learned in the previous basket.  At least four baskets will be completed by the end of the course!  The cost

of the class covers instruction and materials.  Students will be asked to bring some tools typically found around the house:  A 2 gallon pail, yard stick (rather than measuring tape), basic utility scissors, lead pencil, clothespins or binder clips, and an awl, ice pick or small knitting needle.  This will be a fun, hands-on class for new or returning students. Limit: 10 students.

You will paint a new subject each night such as birch trees, flowers, fog, as well as practice washes, quick sketches and learn composition. From beginner to experienced, this class is for you!  Bring watercolor pad, watercolor paints, pencils, small crayons, water container, sponges and paper towels.
