During the Festival, the guild will be demonstrating basket weaving, vending our baskets and conducting a small basket workshop on Saturday. We need help!

You can make your own hours. We are happy to have help for a few hours or all day. You will need to bring a weaving project that you can demonstrate, along with a water basin and tools. We can provide chairs and a table. Demonstrating Hours are Friday 4pm to 7pm, Saturday 11am to 7pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm. Vending Baskets: This is a great opportunity to sell your wonderful art work. All baskets need to be tagged and you will need to bring an inventory sheet. Detailed information on vending baskets can be found on our website at https://www.deercreekbasketryguild.org/marketplace/If you are unable to help at the event but would like to vend your baskets, bring your inventory sheet and baskets on Friday during setup and pickup baskets on Sunday by 4pm.

Basket Workshop: On Saturday May 4^th we will be holding a basket weaving workshop. Steppingstone will announce this workshop and take registrations. The workshop hours will be from 2pm to 5pm. If you can help, please arrive at 1:30pm. If you can help with this event, please let Louise know so we can plan out the space needed. Contact louisebeyer@comcast.net or 410-937-3983.
