We participate in two annual shows a year, and we occasionally demonstrate at other events. We also occasionally teach basket weaving classes, so check our events calendar on this page for all upcoming events!
Sycamore Steam Power Show and Threshing Bee
The 2024 Sycamore Steam Power Show will be Aug. 8-11, 2024.
Our first show is the annual Sycamore Steam Power Show & Threshing Bee in August. We demonstrate weaving and chair caning, and have our handwoven baskets available for sale.
Genoa-Kingston Christmas Craft Walk
The 2024 Christmas Craft Walk will be Dec. 5 – 7, 2024.
We also host a house in the annual Genoa-Kingston Christmas Craft Walk, starting one week after Thanksgiving. We have baskets for sale, and a variety of other crafts and gifts from other family members and friends.
Other Events and Classes
We typically teach at least one basket weaving class each year. We will announce any upcoming classes on this page and on our Facebook page. If you are interested in arranging a basket weaving class for your group, or attending an upcoming class, please contact us via the contact page. We may be able to accommodate your request if time allows.
We have previously demonstrated basket weaving or chair caning at Maker Fest at the Wilmette Public Library in 2019-2020, the Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival in 2017, and at Pioneer Day at the Kishwaukee Valley Heritage Museum in Genoa.
