Started by Joanna. Continued by Jesse and Kate.

Joanna registered the name Joanna's Collections in 1993, and spent the next thirty-five years weaving, teaching, and selling at fairs across northern Wisconsin. It is Jo & Co. Reedworks now, run by her children Jesse and Kate. The count is past seventeen thousand baskets.

"The customers who find us aren't just looking for a basket. They're looking for something real."

Kate · Maker / Co-Owner

How we work

Care, attention, and steady hands.

When you order a basket, someone in this family weaves it. Jesse and Kate take most of the orders, and Joanna still weaves the patterns she likes best. Nothing is contracted out.
