Misti Washington Gourd and Basket Guild

October 1- November 30, 2024

Sharing, learning and creating art using the gifts of nature ... we create woven baskets and gourd art in San Diego California.

The Guild is a community of artists creating 3-D art using contemporary and decorative designs. The display showcases the variety of technique and materials used by the guild's talented members.

Members represent all levels of interest in basket and gourd making -- beginners, professionals, hobbyists and collectors. We all share a common fascination for handmade vessels and sculptural objects -- whether ornamental or utilitarian -- and for the natural fibers and manufactured materials used in their construction.  

Our goal is to preserve, promote and perpetuate the appreciation of gourd and basket art by providing a supportive, sharing and educational environment.
