Peggie Wilcox-Sept. 26-28, 2008
Class Selections
Peggie Wilcox created her first basket 25 years ago and is still delighted and inspired by the essence of sweet grass, the stout flexibility of willow, the rich, earthy hues of Maiden Hair Fern and cedar bark, and the supple strength of rush and sage. She moved to Franklin, NC in 2005, and the bio-diversity and beauty of this area has offered new plant materials and new direction to her work. Come enjoy the richness of working with natural materials.
