Annetta Kraayeveld Beloit, WI Email Address: [email protected] Since devouring Lyn Siler’s “The Basket Book” and begging a first lesson from a local weaver, Annetta has been largely a self taught weaver. This method of learning created a large amount of kindling and some baskets; it also proved that she could weave the pictures in her mind. Annetta considers herself a weaver, a teacher, and a life-long student of basketry. In addition to publishing stacks of patterns, Annetta has been teaching at basketry events and guilds across the USA since 2000. You can view her work at www.prairiewoodbasketry.com Jan Schmidt Georgetown, TX Email Address: [email protected] Jan comes from a very creative family where she learned the art of basketweaving from her mother.
