Welcome! I’m Angela, the artist behind Flag Mountain Studio. At the heart of all of my work is a delight in materiality and a conviction that sharing the process of craft creates meaningful connections to histories of labor and place. Weaving is an underpinning of all the work that I do, whether it is making baskets and other crafts or teaching, and I love the long history of connection to place that accompanies the craft of weaving.

For the last several years, I have been weaving baskets with foraged material, often invasive vines such as kudzu, wisteria, and honeysuckle. I am also cultivating five different varieties of basket willow plants on my land in the Piedmont of North Carolina.

I also have a background in sculpture and installation work, with an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, and you can check out my art practice here.
