Our traditional “fancy” baskets are made from woodsplints of the Black Ash (Fraxinus nigra) tree. Native Maine sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata) is  added in the weaving  as a traditional design element. Our baskets highlight cultural authenticity, master craftsmanship, and the long hours involved in the labor intensive practice of weaving. As a 5th generational weaver, I have been weaving for many years. Using the same traditional tools and molds passed down to me from past generations of family weavers, I learned how to weave as a child from my generational family of basketmakers in Maine. Handcrafted with natural materials, our baskets carry the woven narrative of our cultural history , while I am committed to the cultural preservation of our long tradition.
