50 First Crafts

The Blog: In 2011 I challenged myself to try a new craft project every week. That experience was documented in the original blog, still present here in its entirety. Read the blog.

Instagram: I rebooted my blog as an Instagram account in 2022. That platform gives me an opportunity to share updates to older projects and explore new crafts. Visit Instagram.

Newsletter: I publish an occasional free newsletter via Substack called Amber’s Plant Notebook. Read the newsletter.

Classes: Learn basketry with me! I teach classes at various locations in central North Carolina. You can find my current class schedule on the Classes and Events page.

Plant Walks: I lead monthly plant walks in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. You can find information about upcoming plant walks on the Classes and Events page.

Buy My Baskets: The best way to buy my baskets is to find me at a local market. My market schedule is on the Classes and Events page.

Contact me for commissions and sales inquiries.

What people are saying

“The class was great! I learned a bunch about turning ‘yard clippings’ into cord and weaving it into baskets. So cool! Who knew you could do that? Thanks Amber Gorski for sharing such an amazing craft.”
