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.

Visit: https://coronadohistory.org/calendar/event/community-ribbon-cutting-for-an-island-looks-back-shedding-light-on-coronados-hidden-african-american-history/ About the Exhibit: Coronado, once a barren peninsula in 1886, witnessed the birth of a town that would become a thriving community. Little known to most, African Americans played a significant role among the early pioneers who shaped Coronado's foundation. Despite the challenges of the land bust of 1888, a resilient group of African Americans laid down roots, establishing successful businesses, owning property, and becoming civic leaders at the state level. Their children attended integrated schools, participated in local clubs, excelled in sports, and went on to achieve success in higher education. Many of these pioneers were also patriotic military veterans, serving in the segregated American military. The ranks included Civil War veterans, Buffalo Soldiers, and those who fought in both World Wars. However, by the late 1920s, racial restrictions emerged, implemented through restrictive property deeds common throughout the United States, leading to a decline in Coronado's African American population by the early 1940s. A transformative moment occurred in 1944 with the construction of the Federal Housing Project, bringing nearly 3,000 residents to Coronado, including over 400 African American individuals and families. Despite ongoing challenges, this housing development remained until 1969, fostering a surprising diversity in Coronado compared to other cities in San Diego County. The era concluded with the demolition of the Housing Project coinciding with the opening of the Coronado Bridge. Since 1969, Coronado's African American population has been primarily connected to Navy families, retired military and non-military, and families who chose to make Coronado their home. The "An Island Looks Back" exhibit explores these remarkable yet often overlooked stories—both tragic and triumphant. It serves as a powerful reminder that African American history is an integral part of American history and Coronado history. CHA extends our deepest gratitude to the donors and advisory members whose support made this exhibit possible, including Kevin Ashley, May Brouhard, Bobby Brown, David Grant-Williams, Palma Lawrence Reed, James Love, Claudia Ludlow, Susan Marrinan, Fern Nelson, Yvette Porter Moore, Asante Sefa-Boakye, Jason Sevier, and Brad Willis. Their commitment to preserving and sharing these stories ensures that Coronado's rich history is accessible to all. This exhibit is made possible in part by the City of Coronado Community Grant.
