A new year is starting and it's time to make baskets! Pyramid Lake is sponsoring our first two classes of the new year. The January 18-19 class was held in Wadsworth at the "old" Community building.
The February class will also be in Wadsworth at the "new" Community building during President's weekend. In February, we are planning to start a large burden basket. So get your willows ready. You will need about 150 large willows for that project. Willows should be about 3ft. long and around 1/4" at base. It will take larger thread. You have about a month to get ready for the burden project.
April 4-5, we will be having a class at the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony multipurpose building.

The earring and bracelet was a project that I worked on while attending the Northwest Basketweavers conference this year in Spokane, Washington. I also made a cap, rattle and headband out of cedar. The earring and bracelet picture are on the flyer .
Here are a few pics that I took while there. There were many weavers and the room was filled with teachers and students. I wish I had taken more but I was busy working on my cap. My teachers were Ethel and Floyd Warbus from the Lummi Tribe. My sister, Lorraine Shay and I have taken a few classes from them and they do an excellent job of teaching and preparing materials for their students. |
2020 GBNBA Calendar of Activities will be posted here once we get things finalized.
