Laura Klaus, a teaching artisan, has been weaving for over 30 years and creates her own patterns. She inherited her love of basket weaving from her grandfather, who grew and harvested his own willow.
Klaus teaches at a community college near her as well as several state historic sites in Missouri and Illinois, and various fiber events throughout the Midwest.
