Meet a Member: A Series of Fireside Chats with WARP Members
Our November Meet a Member Fireside Chat is with WARP Board Member Cael Chappell. Cael’s basket making grows from his love of basketry. Seventeen years before weaving his first basket, Cael founded Baskets of Africa, a fair trade verified company committed to economic empowerment for basket weavers from over 20 countries. Traveling across Africa to meet weavers, Cael discovered that basketry is as diverse as it is universal. After years of commitment to the art of basketry and the weavers in Africa, Cael wove his first basket in 2017. He is inspired by global weaving traditions to create his own unique baskets. You can view Cael’s handwoven baskets online here. Cael enjoys working full time on his Baskets of Africa project both to support weavers, and to be able to offer an amazing array of African baskets to collectors around the world.
Join us for this Fireside Chat with Cael to get to know him and learn more about his work! Our Fireside Chat with Cael is scheduled for Wednesday, November 9th at 1:00 pm US Eastern Time.
