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. In 2023 she attended the World Wicker and Weaving Festival in Poznan, Poland. She taught at the 2023 National Basketry Organization Conference in Takoma, WA. She has taught on 4 basketry cruises, teaches basketry widely and lectures about the woven form. She is in her 43rd year of weaving which still fascinates her. She is thrilled that her first book, “Ribbed Basketry: Traditional to Contemporary”, is finally in print. This coming fall will mark her 35th year of participation in the annual Over the Mountain Studio Tour. Her goal is to make each student’s class a successful one.
