SHAKER BOXES
SB-123 Beginner’s Class
12 hours
Wed. 8:00 – 3:00
Thurs. 8: 00 – 3:00
These Shaker boxes are not baskets in the strictest
sense of the word. They are really boxes
constructed using thin veneer for the sides and
thin boards for the tops and bottoms. No glue will
be used as the Shakers used copper tacks and
wooden pegs to hold everything together.
The Shakers used these boxes to store a variety of
small items like beans, seeds, sewing items and herbs. The Shakers
usually did not finish the insides because the finish might impart an
unpleasant tast to dry foods. Students will finish their boxes at home
and may finish the interiors if they wish. 4 different sizes
Special tools: apron and safety glasses or goggles
PLEASE NOTE: This is the same class that was taught last
year. If you took the class in 2012 you will NOT be placed in the

producing and selling wooden basket products for
12 years. This led to an avid interest in weaving
and developing patterns using the wood products
that they produce. She has been weaving for 10
years and teaching for 5 years. She is always on
the lookout for something new that she can apply
to her patterns. She has also developed an interest in the Nantucket
style of weaving, using wood molds that they produce in their shop.
ANNETTA KRAAYEVELD – Annetta began weaving in 1994,
when she literally begged for a weaving lesson from a local basket
weaver. Since that time she has been largely self taught, learning
from both her mistakes and successes. Weaving because she can’t
stop, Annetta continues to find that the challenge of mastering new
techniques and weaving the pictures in the mind keep basketry an
exciting art form. She considers herself a weaver, a teacher and a
life-long student of basktry. In addition to publishing stacks of
patterns, Annetta has been teaching at basketry events and guilds
across the USA since 2000.

into a successful teaching business.
PEGGY McCARSON – Peggy has been weaving since 1995 and
teaching for the last 5 years. She enjoys using

techniques, tasting food, and completing a basket.
BARBARA McCORMICK – Barbara was born and raised in
Mount Pleasant, SC where she learned the trade of
sweetgrass basket weaving from her grandmother,
mother, aunts and other family members at a very
early age. She has since carried on this tradition and
has shared her talent with others including her
family. Barbara teaches several classes along the
East coast and has her work displayed in several
publications including; “Row Upon Row: Seagrass Baskets of the
Lowcountry,” a documentary, “Grass Roots: The Enduring Art of the
Lowcountry Basket,” as well as the Kamisnsky House (Georgetown,
SC) and McKissick Museum (Columbia, SC) just to name a few.
Sweetgrass basket weaving is an art form that came from West
Africa over 300 years ago during slavery.
DONA NAZARENKO – When the snow “flies” or the rain pours,
that’s when Dona really enjoys creating baskets, whether in reed or
birch bark. Most of her wooden accents are made by her husband,
Warren. They are owners of Country Spirit Baskets since 1988 and
offer a variety of workshops in their studio. She is a member of

years in southern Missouri. All the materials
they use in their baskets are made from white
oak timber grown in the Ozarks which Billy selects, cuts and then
shaves off with a homemade hand tool made by his Dad called the
“split knife.” Billy has taught at conventions and workshops in AR,
DE, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, MI, MN, MO, NJ, NC, OK, OH,

22 years and woven baskets for 15 years. She has taught in IA, WI,
IL, IN, OH, and MO.

opportunity for new combinations and variations,
Tika LOVES it!! She has been weaving baskets
for 20 years but has only been teaching for about
12 years from Florida to Michigan and from North
Carolina to Oklahoma. She loves to see creativity
blossom as students allow their eyes to guide them,
relying less on counting and the written pattern and
more on how to bring their own ideas to their weaving.
MARILYN WALD – Marilyn is the owner of XYZ Basket Works.
She has been weaving since 1988 and began
teaching in 1989 with only two students. XYZ
Basket Works was formed in 1992. Marilyn
has taught at conventions, guilds and workshops
around the U.S. and Canada. She has been
featured in Basket Bits Magazine and Just Patterns. The students
make teaching basketry special for her. It is rewarding seeing the
look of a weaver as she completes her basket.
JUDY WILSON – Judy has a passion for baskets, especially
intricately woven baskets. Baskets of Native
American origin and other ethnic baskets hold
a special place in her life. She is totally self
taught and has been weaving since 1984 and
teaching since 1985. She has taught all over
the East Coast in at least 16 states. She
especially likes to see students use skills that
she taught them many years ago. She likes teaching other and
helping to spread the art of basketry.

and writing patterns since October 2000 and she has been teaching
on the basketry convention circuit since 2002. She enjoys expressing
her creativity in the Cherokee 1-3-5 twill designs and the Cherokee

designs. Laura Lee has been weaving since 1986 and is a member
and founder of the River Country Basket Guild in Augusta, GA. She
shares her excitement and enthusiasm for weaving with everyone she
encounters, maintaining the fascination of a child with every new
idea, lesson and experience.
Laura Lee’s most recent achievement is in writing instructional
basket books and a novel, Spirit Voice, about a Cherokee basket
maker. It is a fascinating story of Native American life in precolonial America.
