June 5, 2014 Guild Minutes
The meeting was called to order by Sue at 6:15.
JoAnn made a motion to approve the May minutes as posted on
the blog, seconded by Dawn, motion carried.
Patti gave the treasurer's report, we have $411.79 left in
our account.
Sue read a card from Pat W. thanking the guild for all the
cards of support she received.
Barb B. brought a guest, Pat, to our meeting. She is an accomplished pine needle weaver but
has never attempted to weave with reed.
We all hope to see her as a new member when our meetings start back up
in September!
In Old Business: The
plans have been finalized for the All Day Weave on October 18th beginning at
9:00 a.m. Sandy Bulgerin will be
teaching us how to weave pine needles on a gourd. This will begin with a power point
presentation on how she prepares all the items for weaving. The cost will be $30.00 per person for all
the materials to make a beautiful gourd basket.
The guild will pay her $150.00 for teaching the class. There will a pot luck lunch at this function.
In New Business: We
voted to begin our meeting on the first Thursday in September, the 4th. The members in attendance didn't have a
problem with having the meeting that close to the Labor Day weekend.
We need someone to step up for the September meeting and
volunteer to teach a basket or tell us what they would like to learn. Any suggestions?
JoAnn brought flyers for the Shawano Wolf River Basketry
Guild's Fall Workshop on September 26-28, 2014.
The instructors will be Joni-Dee Ross, Flo Hoppe, and Bonnie Gale. It will be held at the Borders Inn and
Suites, Shawano , WI
JoAnn shared a secret for preserving rubber stamping or
other painted artwork that is applied to handles. She said to seal the artwork with clear nail
polish. By using the nail polish, the
paint won't be washed off when you wet the basket to weave.
Krista made a motion to adjourn with Geri seconding the
motion.
