Members and guests are welcome to join Misti Washington Gourd and Basket Guild at the San Dieguito Heritage Museum at Heritage Ranch (450 Quail Gardens Dr. Encinitas, CA, 92024).

At Noon, we will eat a pot-luck lunch, show-and-share and hear announcements from fellow members. The Board will share pertinent topics from the prior Board meeting. There is electricity for crockpots, but no kitchen facilities.

We encourage you to bring finished projects and/or your works-in-progress. Also, if you have a problem piece, there may be fellow members who can brainstorm ideas that will help you.

Following these activities, Carol Lang and Debra Zimmerman will teach those interested in taking the mini-workshop how to make a flower pin and a St. Brigid’s Cross pin, a traditional symbol to protect a house and drive evil, fire, and hunger away and can represent peace and goodwill. There is a small fee for the mini-workshop.

MWGBG hosts special classes with basketmaker Cael Chappell on February 17 & 18 in El Cajon and February 24 & 25 in Los Angeles. Details are on our website Classes page.
