Kudzu & Creativity: An Interview with Nancy Basket | Kudzu Basket | Primitive Art

[@chickadeeacres3864]

"I don't see weeds anymore I see baskets" that speaks to me. Warms my heart. That’s exactly how I feel about nature. Everything we need is at our fingertips. It’s all raw material for living your best life.

I LOVE Nancy! She comes to our Camp and teaches the campers. It’s my honor that I get to hang out with her as her “assistant”!

Love you guys. Both of you inspired me to make mimosa and kudzu baskets and now I’m heading to my first art festivals next month. I was raised in Upstate South Carolina on a farm moved to Alaska at age 14 and learned how to weave cedar bark from an indigenous lady who taught me so much, and I caught the weaver feaver😂. Out there I wove roots and bark. When I moved back here at 18 and was looking for material and stumbled across your guys page! Couldn’t be more greatful, God lead me to your page. I wouldn’t doubt we will connect in the art world!

Great to see an interview with Nancy Basket and you. I've been following both of your work for a long time and it's fun to see you both comparing notes. I grew up on a property that was "plagued' with kudzu and I've tried for years to figure out what to do with it and have ended up getting into kudzu basket weaving and found you both through searches for how to make kudzu baskets online. Happy to see more information available..

Charlotte Fairchild may love kudzu more than both of you! I wrote songs on my KZbin channel about kudzu. You are both artists I admire!

lived in SC, not far from Union... all my life, Kudzu sucks, I kill it every chance I get, worse than fire ants....maybe another Yankee can move in and weave some fire ants
