Ed Rossbach (Chicago, 1914 – Berkeley, California, October 7, 2002) was an American fiber artist.[1] His career began with ceramics and weaving in the 1940s, but evolved over the next decade into basket making, as he experimented playfully with traditional techniques and nontraditional materials such as plastic and newspaper.
