Pine Needle Plate Workshop



Pine Needle Plate Weaving Workshop
Saturday April 26th
Messiah Lutheran Church
9:30 AM to 3:00 PM.

* Sally Durkee from West Bend will be teaching the pine needle plate baskets pictured above. Cost for materials and plate will be about $28. She has a selection of different patterns on the plates ( animals, fern leaves, blueberries, etc) for us to choose from.

* Sally will be displaying some of her baskets; woven with pottery, pine needles and gourds. Some of the items from her business, Gifts of Love Pottery, such as pottery handles and tie ons will be available for purchase. You can click HERE to see some of her work. She also said if you want something to email her and she will bring it along to the workshop. You can click HERE to go to Sally's website. It is also listed in the links on the right as "golpottery".

*If you want to see Sally's work earlier, she will be at the Oshkosh Altrusa Clubs "Art in the Garden" Sale March 29 and 30 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Oshkosh by the Airport. Click HERE for their link.

* We will discuss at the April 3rd meeting how we want to handle lunch that day ( bring a sack, pot luck or have something delivered in)

* At the April Guild meeting there will be a sign up for those who plan to attend the workshop, but if you know right away email loftymaples@charter.net
