About Claudia

Claudia Hopkins is a wife and mother of one son. She lives and weaves at her home in northwestern Rhode Island.

Claudia began weaving many years ago when she attended a basket-weaving class being taught at a local library. It was love of basketry after weaving her very first basket! Claudia excelled at the art and, when the teacher retired, Claudia took over teaching the class. Since then her craft has grown from a hobby to a business and passion for Claudia.

Each of the baskets shown on this web site is handwoven by Claudia. She dyes most of her own materials, and follows patterns from authors from all over the United States.

Claudia participates in Arts & Crafts shows in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Her favorite venue is Scituate Art Festival which is held every year during Columbus Day weekend.

Claudia's baskets are also sold at the Hand Crafters Barn in North Conway, NH and Waves of Creation in Wakefield, RI.

Claudia is a member of the Northeast Basketmakers Guild.
