About Carol Antrim
Expertise
I can answer most questions about basketry techniques, and how to or where to find instructions/instructors. Also most questions about the materials used in basketry, either preparation and/or sources. I cannot answer questions regarding value or appraisal of baskets. Nor can I address questions about locating cheap wholesale baskets for gift basket businesses, or how to fill such baskets or conduct such businesses.

Experience
I have been weaving baskets since 1986. Studied with Native American basket makers from several Woodland tribes as well as with teachers from coast to coast and Canada,Japan and Russia. Have taught basketry in Indiana, Ohio, New York, Montana, Michigan and Tennessee. Had acceptances in shows and won awards in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, including purchase awards to the permanent collection at Minnetrista Cultural Center. Twice had baskets at the Indiana Governor's residence in the Indiana Arts and Artist Program, and was in 'Innovation--Baskets and Beyond' an invitational at The Firehouse Gallery in Damariscotta, Maine in 1999.

Question
do you have any Information on weaving basket out of Ponderosa pine needles

Answer
Hi Carrol,

Coiling is the technique of choice for making pine needle baskets.You will be pleased to find a very active group of people all over the country engaged in this beautiful form of basket making.

Check out the Pine Needle Group http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Trail/9114/index.html
It has links to online instructions, classes,  resources, books - some with reviews of the coiling instructions,  many, many pictures for inspiration and so much more.

Also bring your questions and join in the Coiling Chat on Thursday evenings at 9 Eastern   http://basketry.about.com/hobbies/basketry/gi/chat/cs.htm

Welcome to the wonderful world of coiling,
Carol
