Local Plant Materials in Basketry
Ann McGinity will be joining us for a talk on using local plant materials to make art baskets. Her knowledge and expertise in using local materials from her travels are always an adventure to hear. From the artist: “My first baskets were woven with natural materials, gathered at the Oregon coast, or in the protected forests. A group of us kept each other informed of when and where there were materials to be gathered, and techniques for many resources, including cedar, cherry bark, spruce root, kelp, sedge, willow, and others. So many opportunities for developing style and technique came from gatherings and workshops within this group.
Next came time and space to develop dyeing and color with commercial materials, using both natural ingredients and commercial products, often paired with open weaves and undulating shapes. This phase made me more prolific in developing my shaping and creating tones within varied weaving levels, as well as incorporating non-traditional materials, such as metals and pottery.”
