What happened to all the basketry information I am supposed to be blogging about?? I don’t know. Sometimes I’d much rather write about our road trips and the dog. Actually, that’s not true. I enjoy writing about Eric’s craft. But I’ve been getting lazy in doing the research. So time to turn off the tv, take a break from playing with the dog, stop devouring ice cream while wallowing in procrastination and write about Eric’s upcoming workshops.
On June 30th from 9:30‐5:00, Eric will be teaching at the League of New Hampshire Craftman’s Center Sandwich location for one day. This workshop is open to all levels and tools needed are provided. You can find more info. or register for the class here. If you’re in New Hampshire at this time, this is a good workshop to catch Eric. It’s in a beautiful location and since it’s only one day, Eric is very relaxed. We’re also spending the weekend at our friends, Karen & Eric’s that weekend, so “my Eric” will be in good spirits.
From July 28th to 30th, Eric will be returning to Tony Stubblefield’s in St. Louis. He will be teaching the Cottage Purse for two days, the Dresser Tote (one of my favorites) and the Cottage Jewel.
For more info. or to register for Tony’s workshop, click here. Tony is a very experienced basketmaker and artist and knows how to host a successful basketry class. This is one of my new favorite places to go because I get to check out Tony’s home and studio space and get lots of inspiration. He’s so creative and organized! Usually those two things do not go hand-in-hand. He also has impeccable taste so if you are in the St. Louis area, check out Tony’s site for one of his workshops. If you’re familiar with JoAnn Kelly Catsos, she is there in the fall and I hear they have lots of fun in her class!
Then he’s teaching at the Missouri Basketweavers Guild’s convention August 2nd to the 5th, at the St. Louis Marriott. He will be teaching his Cottage Smalls Mail Basket, his 7-inch Cottage Carrier and his Business Card Basket. (You can find all of Eric’s baskets at his website here.) I have never been to this convention so I am looking forward to checking it out.
Lynn,
Thanks, for the promo. I guess I better get to cleaning, I have big expectations to uphold! The workshop is going to be here before we know it and my basket room and basement look like a cyclone hit. I am getting a couple new sets of shelves, so hopefully that will help me get stuff put away.
See you in a little over a month!
Tony
LOL! I find that hard to believe. Maybe the basement looks like a small hurricane came in, but not a cyclone. You are too neat and organized!!! Looking forward to the workshop!
