Guilders Weave 2025

 The Tidewater Basket Guild hosted the 26th Annual Guilders Weave on January 16 -19, 2025.  The Marriot hotel at Newport News was filled with basket weavers ready to learn new techniques, meet old friends and make new acquiesces through the weekend. 

Thursday evening I made a random weave vessel attached to a shell.  The class was lead by TBG member Rose Glen.  It was a relaxing way to begin the weekend. 

Both Friday and Saturday I wove twill patterns baskets.   Friday, I worked with Judy Wobbleton and on Saturday I wove with Peggy Adleman. I definitely had to concentrate more on these than the random weave shell!

I concluded the weekend coiling around a gourd under the direction of Debbie Wilson.  The inside of the gourd was decoupaged with stamped tea bag paper.
