The Kenosha Public Museum is hosting a Holiday Bell Basket workshop on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This family‑friendly event requires no prior weaving experience, and the registration fee covers all supplies.
What to Expect
Instructor Sandy Bulgrin will lead participants through each step of the weaving process. Attendees will work with red, green, and natural‑colored spokes and weavers to construct a sturdy basket. Once the basket is complete, it will be finished with a red and green bow and a gold bell, creating a reusable decoration that can be displayed throughout the holiday season.
Cost and Registration
The workshop costs $75 for both members and non‑members. All materials—including the basket components, bow, and bell—are included in the fee. Registration is handled online via the museum’s event page. Because supplies are limited, online registration closes two days before the class. After that deadline, interested individuals may call the museum at 262‑653‑4140 to inquire about remaining spots.
Refund and Cancellation Policies
If the Kenosha Public Museum, the Dinosaur Discovery Museum, or the Civil War Museum cancels the workshop, participants will receive a full refund. Refund requests submitted within 72 hours of the program’s start are subject to a $10 processing fee; no refunds are issued on or after the day the workshop begins.
The museum may cancel the class if enrollment does not meet the minimum required two days before the event. In such cases, registered participants will be notified by phone or email. Should unforeseen circumstances—such as severe weather, a power outage, or instructor illness—force a cancellation within 72 hours of the start time, the museum will work to reschedule the workshop or provide a voucher for a program of equal or similar cost.
Why Attend?
This workshop offers a creative way for Kenosha families and individuals to celebrate the holidays while learning a new craft. The finished basket serves as a lasting, reusable decoration, aligning with the museum’s mission to provide enriching, hands‑on experiences for the community.
