Welcome! I’m Angela, the artist behind Flag Mountain Studio. At the heart of all of my work is a delight in materiality and a conviction that sharing the process of craft creates meaningful connections to histories of labor and place. Weaving is an underpinning of all the work that I do, whether it is making baskets, jewelry, or furniture, and I love the long history of connection to place that accompanies the craft of weaving.

I also work as a farmer at Elysian Fields Farm in Cedar Grove, NC, and have recently planted a plot of willow that I will be able to harvest from for basketry next year. I’m excited to work with locally cultivated and foraged material, rather than relying on commercially produced reed.

I also create sculptural and installation work! You can check out my art practice at www.angelaeastman.com.
