Sandy Atkinson
Sandy Atkinson began weaving in 1983 when she was home with her four daughters. In 1985 she and her husband Steve open Atkinson’s Country House where she could teach basket weaving and sell supplies. The success of the business grew into a nationwide mail order company. In 1986 Sandy approached the U of M PBS-TV about doing a series on basket weaving. The concept was enthusiastically received and the U of Michigan produced the first two series of “Country Basket Weaving with Sandy Atkinson”. Series three, four and five were produced any Steve and Sandy. All five series were picked up by PBS and Sterling Digital out the New York City. Steve and Sandy Continue to work at the basket studio in Lennon, Michigan. They live on a small farm, have eight grandchildren and love to travel around the USA to teach, already teaching in many of our great states. They just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
