Here's a piece from my Sonoran Arts Residency from January. While I am still working out some kinks from the new work created there I will be writing about it for another project as well as making new work that was inspired by my time there.

Baskets

July 28, 2018: I had the pleasure of taking a Black Ash basket class with Kelly Church. She is amaznig! My daugther joined in on the fun too.

Just getting started!

My foundation.

Detail work.

Two very happy basket makers!

In September of 2015, I had the opportunity to take an AMAZING Paiute/Miwok Basketry class in Yosemite through the Yosemite Conservancy from Lucy Parker, her mother Juia Parker, and her daughter Ursula. It was an honor to begin learning a traditional art form.

Julia and Lucy preparing us to enter the Roundhouse at the Indian Village. An amazing honor!

My basket at the end of the first day. I have my work cut out for me!

Classtime on our second day. My hands are not co-operating at this point.

My basket at the end of Day 2.

Working the edge out.

My completed basket.

Last glimpse of Yosemite headed home.

The class was a true learning experience. I am incredibly lucky to have been able to take it from this amazing family. I met some great friends. I was humbled by great teachers as well. I have many years of learning to go. Materials have already been gathered (Thanks Peggy and Clay) to start some baskets in the Spring.

AHO!
