At Kudzu Kabin designs, artisan Nancy Basket turns a Southern nemesis - the invasive kudzu - into a natural (or unnatural) resource for her papermaking and basketry business. By harvest the vine and using its leaves for pulp to make colorful art paper and using its vines for weaving rustic baskets, Nancy claims to take the Native American tradition of using natural resources into new territory. When we visited her studio in Walhalla, SC, we were taken by her ability to translate this weed into an economic crop -even the studio in which she works is made of bales of kudzu which have been stuccoed. Her resourcefulness is only one of her charms. Special Thanks:
