About the Guild

The Columbia Basin Basketry Guild began with a small group of weavers in 1989. As of 2023, we now serve more than 300 members at all levels of skill and experience: from gallery-represented artists to new students learning basic techniques. The Guild is a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers.

We welcome all, regardless of your location, age, race, abilities, sexual orientation, religion, or gender. You are welcome as a member, participant, observer, and leader.

Members of the Guild have access to: Monthly Education Programs, Fourth Monday Mini-classes, Beginner Classes, the Guild’s Annual Retreat, Material Gatherings, willow from our willow plot at Our Table Cooperative, grants and scholarships, and more. Although the Guild is based out of Portland, Oregon, we offer a variety of online learning experiences (in addition to our in-person classes and events). We also encourage all members to consider volunteering with the Guild; if you are a member, and would like to get more involved by volunteering, please email ColumbiaBasinBasketryGuild@gmail.com.
