The Red Rock Weavers Guild will be presenting a gallery show “Baskets, Brooms, Beads and Beyond” beginning January 5 through February 15, 2016 at the Canyon Community Center Gallery. The Red Rock Weavers Guild is a small group of local and not so local ladies interested in creating, learning and teaching each other various forms of arts and crafts. The leader is Cornelia, a local resident, and member of the “Great Basin Basketmakers”, where she learned and has taught the craft.  They meet once a month and cover a different topic each month.

They have done everything from simple and complex basket weaving to Pysanky (the Ukrainian egg dying) gourd art and Ply Split Braiding  (ancient Indian weaving form). The group members are talented artisans with a keen interest in creativity of any form.  The show will contain a variety of basket styles, basket history and a brief description of every item, the materials and processes applied.  There will be simple beginner project, complex expert items and everything in between, including baskets and things the YAZ kids made over the last years.
