Contemporary Basket Making
Traditional basketry techniques
and materials are
used to create contemporary woven vessels.
Emphasis is on shaping, color, and texture. Baskets are embellished with
domestic and
exotic
hardwoods and handmade pottery.
White-tail deer antlers
are often
incorporated into the basket designs, transcending functionality to become
one-of-a-kind art pieces.
Baskets are woven with a variety of materials and different weaving
methods.
