Meeting Potluck & Bottle Cap Fish Line Basket Mini-Workshop

  • San Dieguito Heritage Museum at Heritage Ranch 450 Quail Gardens Drive Encinitas, CA, 92024 (map)

We hope you can join us to at the San Dieguito Heritage Museum at Heritage Ranch (450 Quail Gardens Dr. Encinitas, CA, 92024; turn onto Ecke Ranch Rd. to access driveway). We meet outdoors under a covered patio, so please dress accordingly. We look forward to being with you all to find out what you’ve been up to and discuss and receive feedback on Guild activities.

There will be a round-table show and share with announcements from fellow members, and the Board will share pertinent topics from the earlier Board meeting, if any. 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.

We’ll also enjoy visiting with each other during the potluck lunch prior to the mini-workshop. There is electricity for crockpots, but no kitchen facilities.

Following these activities, Carol Lang will teach those interested how to make a tiny basket using a bottle cap and plastic fishline. Twining experience would be helpful. Carol will provide bottle caps, wire and fishline. Students should bring small sharp scissors and wire cutter, 2 small Ez-bobs to hold the fish line and a tool to punch holes in the bottle cap. Bring your own special bottle cap if you wish. Carol can share her Ez-bobs but needs them returned at end of workshop; she has a metal punch to share if you don’t have one. There is a $5 fee for the mini-workshop.

Those of you who wish to learn more about Guild business are welcome to join the Board meeting that will take place before the Noon members’ meeting at 11:00 a.m. at the Heritage Museum.

For those who cannot attend the meeting in person, an email with a Zoom option will be sent to current members the week before meeting (not an option for mini-workshop portion of meeting.)
