Basketry
My Philosophy...
There is no limit to the knowledge and creativity of basket making. My students are never too young, or too old to learn the skill. I particularly enjoy the excitement shown by beginning weavers when they’ve completed their first basket. Their first results are unique, and my students are filled with pride.

My Story...
My mother started me on this journey. She made me my first basket and then refused to make me anymore. From then on it was up to me. I did many years of classes, learned many basket weaving techniques and continue to refine my skills. Through the years, I’ve taught all skill levels in many groups, (4H, scouts, community centers, schools, etc.). I have also expanded to my own store to continue teaching, meeting new friends and carrying on this tradition that is thousands of years old.
