Bonnie Rideout

Bonnie wove her first basket in 1994 and quickly caught the “basket bug.” In 2006, she created her business, “Bonnie’s Baskets” teaching others how to weave. Shortly after, Bonnie began designing her own baskets, which she absolutely loves to do! In addition to teaching locally, Bonnie loves to travel to teach. Outside of Illinois, her travels have led her to 17 other states. She looks forward to adding a few more to that list!
