Mr. Basketmaker has been busy in the shop getting ready for his classes in North Carolina. And as he mentioned in his post Saturday that since moving to Tennessee I’ve had to put all my painting on the back burner for a bit, it was the same for him. He as well has not been able to replenish his inventory for basket kits, and only producing materials for his classes and when he got an order.
He’s definitely caught up and has a hearty supply of kit materials, which means there’s lots of instruction and pattern sheet edits and printing that needs to be done. Who does that? The marketing department. And at Eric Taylor Basketry, that department is a one-woman show. When I get the stacks printed, I pile them in sections on his blue table where all his sorted parts are.
So if you will be in North Carolina, please stop by Eric’s table during Market Night and get some kits! In addition he has had a long-running waiting list for his woven mini baskets. He was also able to make some of those as well and will have them available for sale too.
Thank you for supporting two self-employed artists! It’s not an easy life but it’s what we love doing.
There’s a Smalls kit that I’ve been bugging ERIC about for a long time! I hope that he’s made it up for me
I will go check with him. I’m sure he has not forgotten Miss Tracey!
So exciting but is the same available on line for those of us who won’t
Have the luxury of joining you both in NC?
Thank you!
Oh yes. I’m in the middle of redoing Eric’s whole site and will have his new stuff available for purchase. Just need to finish it! But if you are looking for something specific, let me know! I’ll see what I can do.
