WALK –IN BASKET CLASSES - This season I have added the Walk-in Basket Class.  This means you can walk-in with no notice ( I have kits to choose from) and take a basket class or walk-in to finish/get help with a present basket making project or if you have a specific basket you want to make and it wasn’t scheduled or you couldn’t make it on the scheduled class day, you can notify me ahead of time to make sure I have the supplies needed and schedule a specific basket on a walk-in day.  Walk-in days are good for Lg. or advanced baskets that take 7 to 14 hrs. of class time and you can come on walk-in days that work for your schedule.  On walk-in days, you pay a supplies fee per basket and $6.00 per hour of class time with me.  I do not have to have a min. number on walk-in class days so you may be the only one or I may have 4 people ea. Doing a different basket.  I will be present from 10 am to 3pm + on all walk-in days so it is advised to be there at 10am.
