The Central Pennsylvania Basket Weavers Guild held their spring retreat at the picturesque Gitt Memorial Library in Hanover last weekend. Despite the rainy weather, members had a great time weaving, relaxing, and socializing. JoAnn Kelly Catsos, nationally recognized black ash splint basketmaker, taught a variety of ash baskets over the weekend.
I wove a black ash diamond cat head bowl. It was woven over a mushroom mold. The completed bowl has a 2 inch square base and a 4" diameter.
