Four Weavers
Complete Work
Although they began their less
ons in the almost-forgotten art of
Aleutian Basket Weaving just last
June, four Kodiak students have
completed their first baskets.
When * the classes were started
their instructor, Mrs. Anfesia
Shapsnikoff, was one of the four or
five weavers who knew the method
of selecting, proper drying and
weavng the grasses.
The four completing their bas
kets* out of the class of seventeen,
are Mrs. "Ruth Torgerson, Mrs.
Celia Blankenberg, Mrs. Mabel
Demarest and Mrs. Dorothy llaag.
Mrs. Shapsnikoff, who is spon
sored by th$ Kodiak and Aleutian
Islands Historical Society, credited
Mrs. Eunice Neseth with the idea
of holding the classes. She said, *‘I
have enjoyed teaching the dying
art of the Aleutians to the women
of Kodiak. I have myself finished
the Attu basket woven of Kodiak
grass which was picked and cured
by Mrs. Neseth more than , a year
ago. If anyone should like to see
it, Mrs. Neseth has the basket. I
feel that she should have it as she
urged me to pass along my know
ledge of the art.”
She gives instructions in weav
ing at the USO every Friday, be
ginning at 2:30 pm.
