Peggy Wiedemann
This basket artist from
Huntington Beach, CA uses natural fibers and gourds to create coiled sculptural
baskets. She personally gathers many of her materials, such as pine needles and
palm fibers. To these natural materials, she adds metal, beads and “found”
objects to form unique pieces. Using these traditional materials and the classic
basketry technique of coiling in unorthodox ways, she creates pieces uniquely
hers.
