Antler Baskets Proudly American Made
Antler Basket Wall Sculpture
Award-winning, original design antler baskets, contemporary free-form sculptures and antler wall art are handwoven by Wisconsin basketmaker artist, Cathryn Peters.
Creating one-of-a-kind (OOAK), original design antler baskets, antler art sculptures, and antler basket wall art has been a passion of Cathryn’s since 1990. Her rib-style contemporary antler basket pieces are a decorator’s dream and a collector’s prize possession, perfect for home or gifts in any setting.
Each creation is lovingly woven to be distinctly unique and different from any others. Calling on her years of weaving and innate sense of shape, color combinations, and texture, Cathryn works with the male antler and the female vessel form blending them into one.

Antler Basket Weaving Process
Antler Basket Sculpture
A variety of naturally shed and harvested deer, moose, reindeer and elk antlers are used in each one of Cathryn’s antler basket sculptures. The antler is an integral component, becoming either the handle or focal point of all of her creations. Each antler tells its story and “speaks” to her, suggesting the form it wants to take.
Sustainable materials such as cattail leaves, sweetgrass, birch bark, wild willow, diamond willow, willow bark, lichen, moss, pine cones, tamarack branches and cones, and red osier dogwood are gathered respectfully by Cathryn and incorporated into her baskets along with commercially processed imported rattan reed.
