Anne Scarpa McCauley

Anne Scarpa McCauley

Anne started weaving honeysuckle vines at age 12 to pass the time while tending the goats on her parents’ farm in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. She kept on developing her own unique style of weaving into adulthood, and is entirely self-taught. She has honed that personal style to a level of mastery that Anne now has two of her baskets in the collection of the Smithsonian Institute’s Renwick Gallery. 

The self taught artisan only uses natural honeysuckle with no kind of finish. The honeysuckle vines are harvested as a light green color, but will over time turn into a beautiful deep gold that will continue to enrich the more it is in sunlight. Her medium also makes her baskets much sturdier than seagrass or bamboo.
