Annetta Kraayeveld presents:
Basket Making
It’s hard for Annetta to remember a time when she was not making something, she is a maker. In the early 1990’s, she discovered basket weaving after stumbling upon a book and begging a lesson; she quickly began making baskets, experimenting, and teaching basketry. She has been teaching at fiber arts and basketry gatherings across North America since 2000.
Over the years, Annetta’s work has won several awards and been included in several national exhibits. She currently has work in several exhibits, including Art Evolved: Intertwined (Studio Art Quilt Associates and National Basketry Organization), both the the 2024 & 2025 Small Expressions (Handweavers Guild of America) and International Fiber Arts XII (Sebastopol Center for the Arts and Surface Design Association).
Baskets. What started as a hobby soon became her life’s work. As a teacher, she focuses on mastery, basketry techniques and stretching perceived limits. As a maker, her work is somewhere between traditional and contemporary. Annetta served as the National Basketry Organization Board president in 2022 & 2023. She participated in the World Wicker and Weaving Festival in Poznan, Poland in 2023.
Annetta was born and raised on the prairies in Alberta, Canada. After living among the trees in Wisconsin for many years, she is happy to weave and live surrounded by mountains in Helena, Montana.

Basket Making
We have a great interactive, hands-on basket program for you!! The guild will provide all the materials needed from the Comstock Funds. Participants will have an opportunity to make six-pointed cube stars with two-sided craft paper.
