Sheila Ziman
Sheila Ziman draws inspiration from the Haliburton landscape. She gathers rushes, bark and vines from the forests and waters near her home to craft her baskets and shares her extensive knowledge of these natural materials with her students. Sheila is noted for creating unique quillwork designs on birch bark and experimenting in new forms of basket making. Her baskets are exhibited in galleries throughout Ontario and she is a frequent demonstrator at special events. Sheila has great enthusiasm for basket making. "Out in a canoe gathering rushes, then home to make a basket - a wonderful way to enjoy nature and make something beautiful!"
