Nadine Spier lives in a rural area outside of San Diego called Olivenhain. In addition to her beloved dogs, she has made a home for adopted rescued tortoises. The trees on her property provide the fallen pine needles for her artwork and for the students in her basketry classes. Nadine's passions are protecting nature/animals, and of course basketry.
She teaches basketry and related classes with a devotion and love that is transmitted to her students. Her classes are frequently filled to capacity with a waiting list. Nadine's reputation as an inspiring and compassionate teacher has grown throughout the years as she travels to teach at regional weaving conferences and guilds.

"Basket Weaving Essentials" is very detailed and informative. While I had difficulty in the past with coiling techniques, Nadine de-mystifies the process and provides all the guidance you need to make beautiful baskets. The video is very well-produced, and the instruction is well paced. As a fiber artist, I am always on the lookout for references to keep in my library. This one is a keeper!

After watching this video I have now created five beautiful baskets. Everything I needed to know from start to finish was right on this video. I am cinstantly being stopped and asked what I am doing when I take my weaving with me. Nadine is very talented and her instructions are very clear.
