50 First Crafts
The Blog: In 2011 I challenged myself to try a new craft project every week. That experience was documented in the original blog, still present here in its entirety. Read the blog.
Instagram: I rebooted my blog as an Instagram account in 2022. That platform gives me an opportunity to share updates to older projects and explore new crafts. Visit Instagram.
Newsletter: I publish an occasional free newsletter via Substack called Amber’s Plant Notebook. A paid subscription is now available to help build my new willow basketry ecosystem. Read the newsletter.
Classes: Learn basketry with me! I teach classes at various locations in central North Carolina. You can find my current class schedule on the Classes and Events page.
Buy My Baskets: Buy my baskets from my online shop or find me at a market. My market schedule is on the Classes and Events page.
Support: Want to support my work without buying a basket? Find me at Buy Me A Coffee.
Contact me for commissions and other inquiries.
What people are saying
“The class was great! I learned a bunch about turning ‘yard clippings’ into cord and weaving it into baskets. So cool! Who knew you could do that? Thanks Amber Gorski for sharing such an amazing craft.”
