Laura Lee Zanger has been designing baskets and writing patterns since October 2000. She has been teaching on the basketry convention circuit since 2002. She enjoys expressing her creativity using the number rhythms found in Southeastern American Indian and African Congo twill techniques. Laura Lee has also written basketry poems and instructional books. Her goal is to enlighten everyone on the thrill of twill, weaving in single and double woven baskets, mats, and trays. Laura Lee has made several large mats and multiple baskets for Caddo Mounds State Historic Site Visitors Center in Alto, Texas.
