Round Reed Basketweaving Workshop with Diana Terrazas

Native California Basketry is reflections of the land, cultures and legacies that continue today. Diana introduces Paiute basketweaving traditions by sharing materials, basketry styles, and forms used for gathering food and other utilitarian uses.

Participants will make a basket made of round reed materials to take home. Materials will be provided. 

Diana Terrazas is a Paiute community member and has been weaving for eight years. She is a descendant of basketweavers from Mono Lake area. Diana is a museum professional and cultural worker who has previously served 3 terms as Secretary and Board Member of California Indian Basketweavers Association. One of Diana’s goals is to bring awareness about the environmental impacts facing land, water, and plant materials that basketweavers use.
