Instructor

Sylvia Friday is an itinerant basket maker, folk artist, storyteller and teacher. Gathering sticks and sharing stories, She tends wild plants and teaches basketry up and down the west coast. The spirit of her work is woven from her relationship with plants and animals and from her experience of the generosity and poetry alive in the natural world. She loves to help people develop a relationship with cattail and with their hands. The process of weaving a basket is a reflection of our time and attention. A basket asks us, what holds us? What holds our attention? What holds our reverence?
