Updated 2026 Workshop Schedule

Written By Great Basin Basketmakers

The Great Basin Basketmakers schedule for the second half of 2026 has been updated. We’ve done a bit of shuffling.

We added Nettie’s Pine Tree Basket workshop in November, as there was quite a lot of interest in this basket at the retreat. It will be a two part class, start the basket at the guild meeting on November 5, then finish on the third Thursday on November 19. We did lose the Christmas ornament program in November, but we could make ornaments at the Christmas potluck.

Great Basin Basketmakers

The Great Basin Basketmakers (GBB) is a guild, created 39 years ago, united by a shared passion for the art of basketry —from time-honored traditional techniques to bold contemporary designs. Our mission is to make baskets, deepen our craft, and pass the art of basketry on to others. All skill levels welcome. It all started with a simple search for honeysuckle. In 1986, Mary Lee Fulkerson placed a small ad in a local newspaper hoping to find a source of the vine for her basket work. The response was immediate: fellow makers Nadine Tuttle, Diane Schaub, Kathy Ralston, Jeanne McClard, and Dora Taylor answered the call. A slide show at the Reno-Sparks YWCA in January 1987 brought everyone together — and Great Basin Basketmakers was born.
