Basketmaker's Guilds and other links

Artisan Guilds go back to the medieval times, when a young person would be apprenticed to a master craftsman to learn the tools and techniques of the chosen trade. Guilds for carpentry, ironworking, jewellers, and even plumbing still exist.

The North Carolina Basketmaker's Association (NCBA) is one of the largest and most active guilds in the US. Their annual convention is one of the premier events of the basketmaking community.

The Virtual Basketmaker's Guild (VBG) was the only chartered chapter of the Indiana Basketmaker's Association (IBA) that met online. Although defunct now, the website is still online.

The National Basketry Organization. Their website is the place to go to keep up to date on the organizational steps they're taking. They have a link to join, too! Other basketmakers

The Virtual Basketmakers Guild (VBG) of which I was a founding member. Although the guild is defunct now, Carol keeps the pages online.

Pine needle baskets by members of VBG: tray by Nora Voss (left) and pine needle ginger jar by Carol Antrim (right), showing their very different styles! Both were gifts from the artists to me.
