A Weaving Odyssey 2026 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

If you enjoy basket weaving events, regional basketry conventions, and learning from experienced teachers, A Weaving Odyssey 2026 looks like a strong fall event to add to your basketry calendar. The Central Pennsylvania Basket Weavers’ Guild is presenting the event on September 17–20, 2026, at the Aspire Hotel in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and the event page notes that this year celebrates 25 years of A Weaving Odyssey.

This four-day gathering offers more than a typical class weekend. The Odyssey page links attendees to registration materials, class schedules, photos, teacher bios, apparel information, and a one-day weaving class option for those who are not attending the full convention. That makes it appealing for both full-convention travelers and weavers who may want a shorter visit.

For attendees planning ahead, the registration packet says the registration fee is $125 and includes classroom weaving space, Friday lunch, Saturday lunch, and Saturday dinner. Registrations postmarked May 1, 2026 or earlier go into the first round of class drawings, regular registration remains open until June 15, 2026, and late registrations may be accepted through August 31, 2026 with an added late fee, pending availability. The packet also states that class assignments will be mailed by mid-July and that some teachers may offer kit preorders after assignments are sent.

For North Georgia Basketry readers, this looks like a worthwhile event for weavers who enjoy a multi-day convention with strong teacher variety, many project choices, and a destination setting with basketry community built in. Gettysburg is a recognizable travel location, and the class mix appears broad enough to interest beginners, intermediate weavers, and more experienced basket makers looking for something new.
