Our basketry artists create handsome baskets from native vines that grow in the woodlands of North Georgia and from grasses that border the state's eastern coastal shores.
Examples are:
Regina Hines weaves baskets, birdhouses and other decorative items to enhance and decor. Her work incorporates wild grape, honeysuckle, wisteria and kudzu vines.
Sweet grass basket-making is one of the oldest art forms in the Americas. For two hundred years, the women of Sapelo Island in Georgia's low country have continued to uphold the traditional craft.
A true heritage craftsman, Jerry Waldrip creates his baskets with strips of white oak from Georgia forests. These handsome baskets are similar to the cotton baskets of Weymon Miller, the local Greene County artist who inspired our Genuine Georgia store.
