2016 Fort Knapadonia Knap-in Announcement Joe Higgins will host the annual Fort Knapadonia Knap-In in August. He promises to have a full schedule of events – archery, 2-inch Goat, 10-speed, bowmaking, atlatls, darts, arrows, etc., and don’t forget – making arrowheads and blades. There will be water available, electricity, Port-a-Potties, and lots of room for camping and RVing. Women and families are welcomed and encouraged to attend! Close by Oak Harbor offers plenty of garage sales and stores for shopping. In addition to the usual great knappers knapping, plentiful rock and great weather, Whidbey Island is also a great place for families interested in sightseeing and other tourist activities. In addition there will be Archery shoots, Atlatls shoots, Tomahawk throwing, arrow making, wire wrapping, and just added a basking making class! Joe plans to add a few more ‘classes’ to share the artistry of PSK members so come prepared to learn and enjoy!
Mary Alice Sterling will be teaching two separate one-day classes making this Hearth Basket at the Fort Knapadonia Knap-in August 2016. This class is only open to women over the age of 21, in two groups of six students. There is a $25 dollar fee (fee covers cost of materials only). Students should show up in comfortable clothing, Mary Alice will provide all materials and tools needed.
The first class will be on Wednesday, August 24th, starting promptly at 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM, six students only. The second class will be on Saturday, August 27th, starting promptly at 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM, six students only. Sign up by emailing Mary Alice at netsuke@comcast.net, and telling her which day you would like to attend. We will make a solid bottomed simple weave basket with an attractive oak handle. Great to hold project, magazines, books or remotes by your favorite chair. This makes a superb visual element in decorative displays. Small class size allows ample one on one instruction as needed, with strong emphasis on everyone leaving the class with a finished basket and a happy weaving experience. There will also be two large teepees available for overnight guest accommodations. Use of these teepees is FREE but on a first come-first served basis. Each teepee can accommodate 6-8 people.
