Baker Artist Portfolios

Sasha Baskin’s weaving and drawing work explores the intersection of craft and classical rendering. She uses traditional weaving and lacemaking processes in combination with source imagery from reality television to address the intersections between analog and digital technologies. Trained in classical drawing, Baskin received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2014. Transitioning to craft and studying lace, weaving, natural dyes, and ikat dye resist processes, she received her Master of Fine Arts in Craft and Material Studies in 2018.

Her exhibition record includes The Baltimore Museum of Art, the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, Blue Spiral 1 Gallery in Asheville, NC, and the Visual Arts Center in Austin, TX.  Baskin was a 2018-2019 Artist in Residence at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts and a 2020 and 2022 Penland Winter Resident. Her teaching record includes undergraduate coursework at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Johns Hopkins University, Stevenson University, and Virginia Commonwealth University as well as workshops at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, John C Campbell Folk School, and Penland School of Craft. Baskin currently teaches at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
