Web Site: http://highcountrybasketguild.shutterfly.com
The High Country Basketry Guild (HCBG) was established in
1985 for people who are interested in baskets, whether making or
collecting them. (HCBG) is an organization of approximately 70
basketmakers and professionals dedicated to preserve standards of
excellence in the design and workmanship of basketry, and through
education to promote public awareness of basketry as a craft and art,
to give guidance to beginners and artisans alike, to establish a
network for sharing topics of interest among members and non-members
for any other legal purpose which promotes or develops basketry.
There are monthly meetings and/or workshops, classes taught by
nationally-known weavers, and six newsletters per year. HCBG is a
non-profit organization. All earnings will be used for
educational purposes, which may include workshops, classes, shows,
demonstrations, mini-conventions, or other legally acceptable programs
for its present and future members and the general public.
Individual guild members offer demonstrations and set up displays for
organizations and associations in the area. Most recently, we
have taught a group of girl scouts, a free class at a local library and
demonstrated basketmaking at the Children’s Festival at Wolf Trap.
Meetings are held at the Packard Center, Artisans United, on the third Sunday of the month at 1:00pm.
Each year, members of the guild make small totes and fill with soaps,
lotions, toothpaste and brushes, etc. and donate to women’s
shelters. This past year, we made 50 totes. The Knitters
Guild donated 50 beautiful and unusual washcloths that we included in
the totes.
Many of our members have won significant basketmaking awards at national basketmaking conventions.
All basketmakers or parties interested in the art of basketmaking shall
be eligible to join limited only by a minimum age of eighteen.
