About the Instructor:
Peggy McCarson lives in both Tampa and McCormick with her husband, Bill. She has been weaving baskets for over 35 years. After retiring from teaching math, she started teaching basket weaving at different guilds and conventions around the southeast. She has also taught on several basket weaving cruises. Beginners are her specialties because of the tricks, shortcuts, and techniques that are given during class time. Several of her baskets have won ribbons at the Florida State Fair and at the North Carolina convention. One of her baskets was featured in the National Basketry Organization magazine. Peggy likes working with students because she can learn as much from them as they can from her.
