Bay Area Basket Makers 
Congratulations on getting the website up and running!!!!! I enjoyed the videos too.
Even though I am in Southern California for the time being, I can connect online. For the gourders: Welburn Gourd Farm is in the process of harvesting the 2010 crop and on March 5th, it re-opens for a new crop of thick skinned gourds. “Love those thick skinned gourds!” If you ever get the chance, it’s a fabulous place for an adventure. Located near Temecula about an hour north of San Diego near wineries.
Looking to take classes on beginning basket making .I live in Alamo.
Thought you might be able to help.
