Sandy Bulgrin (publisher of Basketbits) will be teaching a Watercolor Paper Basket Weaving Class at Shake Rag Alley in Mineral Point on Sunday, June 8th from 1-4. During the class, watercolor paper is painted, cut it into strips and finally the strips are woven into a basket. There are various styles, shapes and sizes of baskets that can be woven. Cost is $45.

Mineral Point is a charming place to visit and only about 1 3/4- 2 hour drive from our area. We enjoyed staying overnight at the 1840's Stagecoach Inn on the Shake Rag Alley property which gave us time to stroll through all the interesting shops and galleries downtown not to mention visiting the wonderful restaurants. ( Since I'm not a beer drinker or much of an alcoholic beverage drinker in general..... I was totally smitten with the homemade nonalcoholic root beer and cream soda at a restaurant with a microbrewery. I had to go back the next day for another glass !)
