The Misti Washington Gourd and Basket Guild presents a basket and gourd art show in the five cases in the Central San Diego Library.

Seven talented members — Peggy Blessing, Alison Hiers, Sue Kamin, Carol Lang, Vicki Patnode, Ron Wilson and Deb Zimmerman — of the Misti Washington Gourd and Basket Guild have their artwork in the San Diego Central Library on the second floor during October through November 30, 2024. The 23 artworks displayed also include two baskets made by Misti Washington and two baskets from the Native American collection of Willie Ziegler.

The San Diego Central Library is located at 330 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA 92007 (619) 236-5800. Visitors can view the exhibit during the library’s operating hours, which are Monday and Tuesday 11:30am to 8pm, Wednesday through Saturday 9:30am to 6pm, and Sunday 1pm to 5pm. More information about the library may be found at their website.

The exhibit is free and open to the public. A small card next to each piece has a short description of the piece.

Members of MWGBG represent all levels of interest in basket and gourd making — beginners, professionals, hobbyists and collectors. The members all share a common fascination for handmade vessels and sculptural objects — whether ornamental or utilitarian — and for the natural and manufactured fibers used in their construction.
