Freyja Ulveland is a basket weaver and co-founder of the Alberta Basketry Guild. After moving to a small acreage surrounded by meadows and forests, she began gathering plants from the land and exploring the possibilities of natural materials. Her work with willow, cattail, and bulrush has grown into both a craft and a community.

Freyja teaches throughout central Alberta and helps organize gatherings such as Weaving Connections and Baskets in the Garden, where people come together to share skills, stories, and the experience of making by hand. For her, basketry is about more than creating baskets. It is about connection with the land, the materials, and one another.
