HANDMADE BASKETRY HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS
Cost: $30
November 23rd
11am-2pm
Each class member will be guided in the creation of a one-of-a-kind ornament to take home, (possibly two if we have time). We will cover basic construction, spoke layout, twining, and triple twining. You will learn how to control the shape and color patterns of your ornament, as well as finishing the top and adding a hanging device. We will be working with hand-dyed and natural reed, which will be provided in numerous colors. Participants are encouraged, (but not required), to bring a plastic dishpan or tub, a flat blade screwdriver, a pair of needle nose pliers, and a pair of nippers (or strong scissors/garden snips/side cutters).

Wordsmith Workshop
Writing Series
First and Third Saturday of the Month (ongoing)
Intro: No matter your experience or style, the Writers’ Workshop welcomes you to our bi-monthly gathering where we discuss and practice our craft. Each meeting will focus on a specific topic that poets and authors alike can explore to expand their understanding of the medium and the breadth of their own skills. Iron sharpens iron, as one writer sharpens another. On the first and third Saturdays of each month, from noon to 2pm, the Ramsdell Theater will be host to writers like you. We hope to see you there!
