Molds, molds and more molds.

My little library and weaving corner.

My work table. I have plenty of great natural light.

I keep all my supplies in clear plastic tubs labeled and organized by size.

JoAnn makes it look easy to pound a black ash billet.

After much pounding the individual growth rims begin to peel away.

JoAnn holds one of her incredible black ash baskets.

Along with the basketry class there were about a dozen other classes going on, including blacksmithing.

Each night there is a different demonstration going on.

The two baskets I finished in class. Both sport complicated twill patterns.
