West Coast Weaving


Welcome to the most renown craft work of the west coast. Pieces such as these are part of collections both private and public around the world. Yet despite the fame of this art form, few have chosen to carry on with this craft today. The weaving styles are quite different among tribal groups on the west coast and patterns were at one time  believed to be select to families. Featured here is the work of one artist who weaves on a full time basis .Each piece reflects many hours of careful work. This is a catalogue of some of finished pieces that the artist created and still offers. As she does more works they will be featured here so please visit regularly .

 

The grass used is a swamp grass that has to be harvested and dried. This may take months to cure. The grass is then dyed various colors. It is also believed that different colors could denote a baskets origin as much as the weaving style. Weaving with this grass can be long and tedious as wetting the grass  is needed as you  weave with it.
