Anna Weaving

Anna is a dedicated grant writer, skilled basket weaver, and passionate advocate for her local community. Originally from Germany, she has embraced Butler County as her home, where she and her husband are farmsteading. Her love for primitive arts and crafts began through a wilderness program, sparking a deep appreciation for both traditional and modern weaving techniques. She is captivated by the cultural richness of Appalachian basketry, working with materials like white oak and hickory bark, as well as Indigenous grass and rush weaving and German willow work. For Anna, the intersection of craft and culture is at the heart of her passion.

Though she never met Hershel in person, Anna has developed a strong sense of his warmth, artistry, and excellence through his legacy, family, friends, and artwork.
