| About the Artist Pati English |
| Twenty-five years ago, March 1987, a friend named Desi asked me to attend a Basket Weaving Class with her. I went one Tuesday evening and was immediately hooked. Since then I have completed more than 2400 baskets of various shapes and sizes. In addition, I have instructed over 2400 students of all ages and continue to create new designs to teach at state conventions, guild workshops, museums, art centers, at your location, or at my home studio in Seneca, SC.
