A Measure of the Earth: The Cole-Ware Collection of American Baskets opens October 4th at the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery. The show celebrates the generous gift of approximately 100 baskets given to the Smithsonian American Art Museum by the noted collectors Steven
R. Cole and Martha G. Ware.
The collection is comprised of the work of 60 makers including yours truly, plus a number of other National Basketry Organization members (Jo Cambell-Amsler, Sharon Dugan, Jan Henry, Jennifer Heller-Zurich, Scott Gilbert, Katherine Lewis, JoAnne Russo and Susi Nuss). You can read the full description of the exhibition here.

The show will run from October 8th - December 8th. If you can't make it down to Washington D.C., you can see my basket here.
So wish I could go. I would love to see the collection and specifically your baskets.
