SUMMARY:WRITERS WORKSHOP: "Whodunnit?" isn't the only question
DESCRIPTION:In the beginning\, there was the mystery. Both Edgar Allen Poe’s M. Dupin and Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes had the ability to see connections that others missed and thus solve criminal cases. But even in these first detective stories\, other things were already important: Poe devotedly described the city of Paris (which he never knew personally)\, and Doyle developed the character Sherlock Holmes in such a multifaceted way that it is still taken up by authors today (Beate Baum being one of them). \nToday\, the genre is one of the most popular in the world. So just constructing a tricky mystery is less enough than ever before. When it comes to good\, successful crime fiction\, it’s also about interesting places\, a convincing social situation\, and\, most important: the characters in the book need to be true to life. Plus\, of course\, never to be forgotten: the language\, the style. \nBeate Baum’s first crime novel came out 2001. She has been praised as one of Germany’s best crime fiction writers. To date\, 15 crime novels (also under her alias Victoria Bertrams) and a book of short stories (You can find the English The High School Reunion in the Goliad Review 1.2\, Fall 2018) have been published. In this workshop she will speak about the necessity and limits of plotting\, the approach to the right setting and interesting topics\, but you will also learn how to develop characters which work and receive critical feedback upon your writing.  \nWorkshop Fee: $175. (Includes lunch both days) \nTo register\, call 906-484-1333 or register online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/626565864367 \nBeate Baum Bio \nBeate Baum holds a master’s degree in Comparative Literature has been praised as one of Germany’s best crime fiction writers. To date\, 15 crime novels (also under her alias Victoria Bertrams) and a book of short stories\, The High School Reunion\, have been published. Prior to writing fiction\, Baum worked as a freelance travel writer\, focusing mainly on Great Britain\, Ireland\, and the USA for over 20 years. Baum was born in Dortmund\, Germany\, and now resides in Dresden.  \n  \n  \n

Our experienced instructors Josh and Sarah Homminga will guide you through each step from preparing the materials to weaving the basket. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience\, this workshop is perfect for all skill levels. \n\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, you’ll have your very own handcrafted black ash basket to take home and cherish. It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn a traditional craft and create something unique.\n\nClass is $175 per person and includes all materials\, instruction and lunch for both days.\n\nTo register\, call 906-484-1333 or click here to REGISTER ONLINE. \n\n\n(Basket shown is an example and may vary from the actual project.)\nABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS: \nJosh and Sarah Homminga are black ash basket makers. Josh is a member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe and Sarah is a Bay Mills Indian Community member\, they reside in Bay Mills\, Michigan.  \nJosh grew up leaning the art of black ash basketry\, as this art has been passed down within generations of his family. Josh didn’t take a real interest until his great aunt and uncle\, Bernadette & Roger Azevedo\, made a statement that had an impact on him. They stated that they were afraid that no one in the family will keep this art alive. They taught workshops for many years and were worried that no one has truly learned the process and carry it on. Josh took their words to heart and decided to continue learning and sharing this art.  \nIn 2012\, Josh and Sarah started dating\, during this time\, Josh started teaching Sarah the process of black ash basketry\, starting with the harvesting and then how to process the log to make the materials for a basket. Sarah was fascinated by the whole process It is something very unique\, the thought that you are able to go into the woods and use a natural resource and with a little work\, transform it into something absolutely beautiful.  \nThis is a laborious process\, as you have to pound the layers off the log\, split the layers into individual strips\, then scrape those strips smooth\, once they are smoothed and we have the desired thickness of the strip ready\, we then start making/cutting our bottoms (structure/ribs of the basket) and our ribbon (weavers)\, which are going to be thinner than the bottoms.  We then choose colors\, we use Rit fabric dye\, and we are ready to assemble our basket.    \n Josh and Sarah were married in 2019 and together have 5 children. They both held “corporate positions” for many years before deciding to pursue basket making full time. They have facilitated many workshops and have traveled throughout Michigan\, Canada\, Minnesota and Wisconsin. They enjoy sharing and teaching the process of basket making.  Recently this year\, they were honored to have their baskets given to President Joe Biden\, First Lady\, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau\, and Deb Haaland as gifts. They take pride in all their work and plan to continue making them. This art has allowed Josh and Sarah to provide for their family and they are able to share their knowledge with others.  \nIn addition to making baskets\, Josh has also made hats\, these hats are worn by traditional dancers\, this is another accomplishment that they are both proud of. Their work can be viewed on their facebook page. www.facebook.com/fromlogtobasket
