Bethany Strohm is a Boston-based educator and artist. She teaches writing and humanities seminar courses at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She holds a BFA in painting and an M.Ed. in art education, but began making baskets in 2019 and became immediately enamored by the craft. Her sculptural baskets combine organic and geometric forms through the technique of the mad weave, a form of triaxial plaiting. Strohm is also the editor of the National Basketry Organization’s basketry+ Magazine, a print publication that features basketry artists, museums, and collections from across the United States.
