Basketry Classes with Joan Carrigan
Joan Carrigan is a full time basketmaker and basketry teacher living on Salt Spring Island, BC. Over the past 25 years, her passion for baskets has led her to study, travel and explore many different techniques and materials within the medium. Joan studied Fine Art and Art History at the University of Guelph and her love of history prompted her research in traditional techniques. Her background in fine art has encouraged her enthusiasm for the sculptural and creative potentials that the medium offers. Her inspiration comes from the plant materials she respectfully harvests from nature. Joan’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Joan teaches extensively both close to home and in Europe and finds this to be a very rewarding aspect of her career.
Joan’s classes are taught in-person and online. They are suitable for beginners and participants that are more advanced.
Online classes are a great option for those that may not be able to attend in person.
I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Joan is a wonderful communicator and teacher. Thanks so much for offering this online opportunity. Although I’d love to be able to attend a class in Victoria, or B.C., it’s impossible for me just now. I’m very grateful that so many people have facilitated this option.
