Meet our talented instructor, Erika Schneider, whose journey into basketry began nearly 40 years ago as a student intern at Callaway Gardens in Georgia. After being captivated by a basketry demonstration in a historic log cabin, Erika turned her curiosity into a lifelong passion. While completing her Biology degree at Augusta College, she shared her skills by teaching others this timeless craft.
Today, Erika continues to embrace her love for culture, nature, and community wellness. As a board member of Dig In!
