Master Basket Weaver to teach in Juniata County

It's shaping up to be a very busy summer for me, but I apologize for my lack of posts nevertheless!  I have some news I want to share with local readers, and I only wish I had posted about this sooner.

Emma Hughes, a Master Basket Weaver from Sulphur, Louisiana, will be coming to my area the week of June 20th.  She will be teaching seven different baskets during that week, most of them during the day, but there will be one evening class.  
The baskets she will be teaching are:  Corner basket (in two different sizes...you choose one), a Valet basket, a "rabbit" basket, Gift Carrier Basket, Wrought Iron Handle Basket,  Trellis Basket, and  Double Wall Basket.  The last one is not a beginner basket, and the deadline to sign up for that one was yesterday (sorry!).  
Class sizes are limited, so don't delay if you wish to sign up!  

Opportunities like this one don't come to rural Juniata County very often, so I broke down and signed up for two of her classes!  I just couldn't pass it up!   Even though I've been weaving for almost 20 years, I am sure I will learn something new, and am excited to observe how a fellow weaver teaches!  

If anyone in the surrounding area is interested, please email me and I'll give you the information you need!
