Vera loves all things fiber!  Vera made her first basket as a child.  In her younger years she completed an apprenticeship in Germany as a dressmaker.  As an adult Vera pursed basket making and silver smithing. Her baskets and jewellery were sold at craft fairs and galleries in Ontario. She is an experienced instructor in basketry, dyeing, and felting. After moving to Vancouver island she focused on using local, natural materials, like willow,cedar and maple bark for basket and local plants for dyeing her handspun yarn. Vera's baskets are sold at Salish Sea.
