What Weaving Teaches Me
What weaving teaches me is that life is not perfect.
We take the strands of fibers that we have
and keep coiling and creating something beautiful
that could help us carry what we need in life.

I started learning coil basketry in October 2018 with my teacher Gloria Sanyika (African and Blackfoot Indian). I really love the method. It is meditative, healing and allows me to be creative.
