Saturday, October 7 from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. Basketry is an ancient art, practiced by many peoples and cultures. Traditional basket makers used readily available materials, such as sweet grass, pine needles, willow, and thin strips of ash or oak. Marsha teaches Appalachian-style basketry which is a functional form of basketry used for everyday activities. Thus, the basket names often reflect their functions, such as Market Basket, Egg Basket, Herb Drying Basket, and others. In this workshop you’ll learn to basketweave an adorable door basket to welcome your family and friends. It’s perfect for beginners because it uses mostly the traditional over-under basketry weave, but you can personalize this project with your choice of dyed reed accents and choice of the gingham ribbon color. The wooden “Welcome” disc is included. The Door Basket measures 10” across and 14” tall. It’s only about 1” in width to fit nicely on your door, but could also be used as a wall basket. Change out the flowers (not included) as the seasons change. The striking Japanese knot adds a final flourish to the handle. No experience necessary. Ages 18+ welcome. Students: Please bring sturdy scissors and an old towel if you can! • Scholarships available: Click here for an application. • Military and sibling discounts Stay Connected on Social Media!

When the military drafts Birdie into the war, his fans are devastated - none more so than struggling songwriter Albert Peterson, whose song Birdie was just about to record. Albert’s longtime girlfriend, Rosie, pushes Albert to write a new tune that Birdie can perform on television to a lucky fan selected in a contest. The scheme works, with young Ohio teenager Kim MacAfee declared the winner, but trouble ensues as no one anticipated the reaction of Kim’s boyfriend, Hugo.
