May is the month when thoughts turn to spring, spring flowers, Mother's Day and looking ahead to summer. May baskets are a traditional part of spring as well. This month's featured artist, Barbara Weber, has included flowers in her woven baskets for this month's overall theme of "May Baskets, May Flowers." Barbara works in both traditional and non-traditional styles of baskets. She has been weaving baskets since 2002 and has won awards from the North Carolina Basketry Association and the Michigan Basketmakers Association. She teaches both locally and nationally. Barbara displays her baskets at the Workhouse Arts Center and Artists Undertaking Gallery in Occoquan, Virginia, as well as at craft shows throughout Northern Virginia.
