Lyn(on left) and Carolyn (the one holding the basket) both live in North Carolina; Lyn a native

of  the state and Carolyn a transplant from Ohio.   Lyn has been teaching basketry since the early

1980's.  She learned by working side by side and observing basketmakers in the Asheville NC area,

including Rowena Bradley, a Cherokee Basketmaker to whom the book is dedicated.  

Lyn was a founding member of the NC Basketmakers' Association and has been a leader in this organization

of almost 1000 basketmakers throughout the years since it's inception. Lyn works at the Poplar Grove Plantation

in Wilmington NC where she is one of the resident weavers.

Carolyn learned basketmaking from Lyn and they quickly combined talents and started writing and

illustrating "How-To" books on basketry .  Their friendship and business partnership has continued over

the years and they are currently working on producing a basket making video.

Whether you have made hundreds of baskets or are a novice,  you will find a pattern that suits you.   The book has 24 great

baskets from which to chose, with all skill levels included.
