Hello, I'm Penny.
Thanks for checking out my website.
I am passionate about revitalizing and sharing traditional skills, particularly in the form of black ash and bark basketry. I believe learning utilitarian skills can point to alternative ways of shaping a culture that fosters land, tradition, and community stewardship. I enjoy teaching people how to use their hands and simple tools to transform natural materials from the surrounding forests into objects of beauty that are useful in everyday life. I am inspired by traditions of many cultures, and am grateful for the opportunities of connection to the land and people, past and present, that this craft cultivates. My experience includes teaching workshops to all ages, as well as crafting for income, pleasure and to meet the needs of my homesteading life.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or inquiries about collaborative possibilities.
