It started with a pine needle basket in 1994.  Pam has traveled to Thailand with Royalwood, and has made 6 trips to Alaska since 1998 to learn Pine Needle Basketry from Jeannie McFarland and native Haida weaving with Delores Churchill.  She also goes to harvest and prepare her own western red and Alaskan yellow cedar barks and Sitka spruce root.  Pam loves everything about weaving, from the gathering and preparation of materials to creating beautiful, mostly functional vessels.  She has won numerous awards at IBA and AMB for all styles of baskets, including Nantucket, coiled, naturals and art pieces.  The connection of weaving across the cultures continues to inspire her.  Sharing her knowledge and continuing to learn from other weavers brings her great joy.
