She is a vibrant and energentic speaker, and delighted us with her stories and slides, even showing us some instances where the hat-weaver made a mistake, and instead of taking it out, just left it, and started a new row of weaving.

Our Basketry Guild meeting was tonight, and the program was a slide show and talk by Dawn Glinsmann. She produced a dissertation on Northwest Coast hats, made from spruce roots by most of the Native Americans. She studied hats from 400-800AD up to the early 20th century, as well as current artists. She also took workshops and learned from Native American teachers from the area.
