Roberta
Condon - is a fine artist with her own gallery and studio in Portage, WI. A signature
member of the Pastel Society of America. I began weaving baskets three years ago with a week long course
given by Jean Poythress Koon; a nationally recognized master teacher. She was a “natural” as Jean said, and took
risks, created new designs, competed in national shows, and received national recognition among pine needle weavers.
Roberta has taught many classes through her gallery, and have created many converts to the pine needle weaving craft.
She will share her first, second, and third projects to demonstrate how quickly it is possible to progress in this craft.
In addition she will show current work, along with the project of the day.
