Anne Bowers
Anne is from the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia where she works in her studio designing and teaching baskets. She was a production basket maker for many years and she brings those skills into each basket that she teaches. Ribbed basketry is her specialty, and some of her baskets have taken on a sculptural perspective in recent years. Anne has participated in many basketry exhibits, shows and has won many awards for her work. This past year she produced a few baskets on huge moose antlers to be used by a floral designer for the Philadelphia Flower Show. She is a member of the National Basketry Organization. She has taught on 3 basketry cruises, teaches basketry widely and lectures about the woven form. She is in her 40th year of weaving which still fascinates her. She is working on writing her own book about ribbed basketry. The crazy year of 2020 led to lots of time for weaving and creativity. This coming fall will mark her 31st year of participation in the annual Over the Mountain Studio Tour. Her goal is to make each student’s class a successful one.
