4 KAREN UNROE BASKETMAKER & ARTISAN Karen Unroe made her first basket in 1987 with Hocking County s beloved Leota Hutchison as the instructor. From that moment on she was smitten with the art of basket weaving. Basketry has become Karen s primary focus of creation because of her ability to grasp the beauty and usefulness of this very old handcraft. Karen concentrates on making the traditional style baskets for local consignment shops. These baskets are intended for use in everyday life. Karen loves to incorporate embellishments (buttons, wood cutouts, etc.) and reed accents on her baskets to create an expression of beauty, grace, or whimsy. Karen began teaching basket weaving classes in 1990 at her home in Columbus, OH. She also taught at state conventions and small basket weaving conferences for many years.
