| Kay Harradine has been weaving for nearly twenty years and
has been a serious student of basketry during that time, pursuing both
contemporary and indigenous forms of the craft. She specializes in
working with plant fibers harvested responsibly from forest, wetlands
and her garden. She has attended workshops with many local and
nationally recognized master weavers and instructors. With degrees in
Forestry and Education from the University of Washington, she benefits
her basketry students with ethno-botanical knowledge and strong
teaching skills. Kay teaches for Pacific Weave (The Basketry School)
and through community education programs in several counties in
Washington State, as well as traveling to teach in British Columbia and
elsewhere. She is an active member of several artists' and basketry
guilds, and regularly promotes the art of basketry by creating
educational displays, demonstrating weaving, and volunteering for
children's programs.
Besides selling her work at fairs and art shows, Kay also
teaches basketweaving through community education programs in several
school districts. You can email Kay at mames@fidalgo.net Here is some of Kay's work. |
