Kudzu Basket Weaving
Edible Flowers
Amy Wetmore grew up on Signal Mountain. She took her first kudzu basket weaving class from Bill Haley at the Chattanooga Nature Center in 1990. With an abundant supply of kudzu vines in her backyard Amy had plenty of free materials to practice her new skill. Coming from a family of artists Amy grew up learning many different forms of artistic expression but kudzu basket weaving especially captured her attention because it is natural, readily available, and utilitarian. Amy enjoys sharing her love of taking the underappreciated vines and creating beautiful works of art.
