Bird Exhibit + Open House
May 16, 2026 @ 2:00 pm
Location: Lanark Highlands Basketry Museum

Join us for an afternoon celebrating the 10th Anniversary opening of the museum, featuring Ankaret Dean’s Bird exhibition!
This exhibition will include baskets that Ankaret has made over several years and many new ones too. She finds using natural materials ideal for making birds using basketry techniques. Lately, she’s used a combination of wire – used for trellising grapes – for her smaller birds, as wire is more pliable for making smaller birds and coloured round reed.
Ankaret has started making birds while living on the farm in Elphin, they’ve been flying in her house ever since.
We hope to see you there!
The event is free. Tea and cookies will be served!
