Plaited baskets are simple but beautiful and still strong holders for many precious and humble items. In this class students will make one black ash plaited basket. Students will prepare their basket pieces by cutting and knife scraping ash splint material and will learn the plaited weave. Students will learn how to finish the basket by tucking in the base/weaver pieces. A log pounding and splint splitting demonstration will be done where students can participate in the intricate process of attaining ash splint material. Students will also learn about Haudenosaunee traditions and histories of black ash basket weaving. A display table of baskets and basket books will be available for students to interact with. Instructions — Feel free to bring water and a notebook for any notes you'd like to take.
