ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Marsha Orr made her first basket in 1987. “It was a magical experience. The class was in a converted barn in rural upstate New York. Sheep were grazing in the pasture, classical music was playing, and herbal tea was brewing. Beautiful colored reed hung in batches from pegs around me. I was entranced by the ambiance and the process of weaving and was hooked on Basketry from then on.”

As she contemplated retirement after 17 years of teaching at CSU, Fullerton, Marsha began teaching basketry through Fullerton Parks and Recreation’s Community classes. She taught there for three years before retiring to Menifee. She says, “I find joy in teaching and practicing this ancient art and seeing the look of discovery and satisfaction as my students create their own basketry art.” Marsha currently teaches at Fallbrook School of the Arts and is a member of the Misti Washington Gourd and Basketry Guild.
