Basketry Random Weave - Thursday November 26, 2026 10 am - 3 pm
Crys has been making baskets for more than 40 years. Initially self taught in an era with no videos or internet, the library served her well. She has taken classes with several international instructors, visited willow farms in England, France and Italy, and been involved in several interesting commercial projects.
In the past she has taught extensively throughout Alberta, and in various faraway places.
Her work has been exhibited locally, Nationally, and internationally, and been featured in several publications.
She has a BFA from the Alberta College of Art and Design, now The University of the Arts and practices today as a basketmaker and a metalsmith.
