WELCOME to the Wolf River Basketry Guild website.  The Wolf River Basketry Guild was formed in Shawano, Wisconsin, in October 1993 to foster the art of making handmade baskets  and promoting this craft in the Northeast Wisconsin area.
 

The purpose of our guild is to:

Membership is open to anyone of any weaving level.  A newsletter is published quarterly in January, March, July and October.

Guild Meetings are usually held the 4th Monday of each month August through November and March through May.  The January and February meetings are held on the Saturday prior to the 4th Monday of the month from 10 am-2 pm. Bring your lunch and beverage to the Saturday meetings. Our Christmas party/basket exchange is held on a Monday evening earlier in December.

The guild sponsors a fall workshop in September. Nationally known instructors share their knowledge and expertise with students in this two-day event. Additionally, basket supply vendors have their wares available to students and the general public.  More information will be posted as it becomes available.

The guild also sponsors a spring workshop, usually in April, open to guild members only.

Guild members participate in one or more special projects during the year, including donated baskets for disadvantaged persons and a basket display at the local library.

Fall Workshop September 24-26, 2010
