July 6 and 7, 2019, Presentation and Workshop

Toni Best Presentation and Workshop Instructor

SBFAG Meeting on Saturday, July 6, at Maravilla, 5486 Calle Real, Santa Barbara, at 9:30 am.  

Presentation:

The presenter for the July Guild meeting will be Toni Best of Visalia, California, on Free Form Gourd and Pine-needle Basketry. She will talk about her basketry and its evolution over the past 60 years. She will demonstrate how it has changed from more symmetrical and standard forms and grown into an art form that portrays flights of vision and movement. Toni is a retired musician and has transformed her music background into the flow and movement of her basketry. As she has matured as an artist, her basketry pieces have grown in imagination through her constant attempts to be challenged.
