Woven Baskets by Ellen Phillips

Woven Baskets by Ellen Phillips

Presented by Illinois Prairie Weavers Guild at Congregation Etz Chaim

Ellen Phillips has been weaving baskets since 1984. Making that first basket sparked a lifelong interest in hand work. It has always been Ellen’s desire to share the knowledge of what she has learned and to keep learning more about this ancient art. Ellen brings humor and a “can do” attitude to the classes she teaches. Her lecture will provide us a peek into this beautiful world.

We welcome visitors to our meetings, whether novice or expert, or just curious about the art of weaving!
