We hope everyone is enjoying their Hot Summer!
The changes at Handmade NC Baskets just keep on changing. Eagle eyed observers may have noticed that our name has changed from "Handmade North Carolina Baskets, Inc" to "Handmade NC Baskets" (we are the same folks, we just made some slight changes for accounting purposes). The old wood shop that was outside the door from Joni's studio is now gone, and we have a covered, lighted weaving patio in its place. The new workshop is now complete and separate from the house. And there is now a paved walkway all the way around to the Studio.
We have fully reopened HNCB following the pandemic and have starting to 'gently' hold classes again. In the future, we plan to have a limited number of 4-day events, along with monthly 1-day classes. We hope this will better serve both visiting and local weavers. See the website for details about class dates, projects and signup forms.
And speaking of the website, it is undergoing a Major Upgrade. We are updating much of the information on the site, as well as taking the opportunity to streamline several of the pages for ease of use. Several new basket designs and projects will be added. We plan to have the website fully refreshed by the beginning of September.
Take Care Everyone!!
