About your Instructor
“I am an artisan basket weaver who has lived in Oregon for 20+ years. Over the past fifteen years, basketry has become a mindful practice that has helped me find balance in uncertain times as well as a means of joyful expression. I have always loved playing with textures & colors. I love that the design and material possibilities in basket weaving are seemingly endless! In addition to being a member of CBBG, I am an active member of the Village Gallery of Arts (VGA) in Cedar Mill.” -Diane Shingledecker
