Renee is a Catskills-based chef and designer who specializes in working with wild plants and fungi. She rediscovered her childhood love for basketry when she was unhappy with the sourdough bread baskets she could buy, and decided to make them herself instead. She works in many media, builds cob ovens, bakes bread and pastries and obsesses over finding and eating wild mushrooms. You can see more of her work on instagram @renee_makes_things.
