Details
In this class, students will make one mini basket made out of black ash splint material. Students will work with already prepared base and weaver pieces to weave a mini basket in the continuous weave style. Students will learn how to finish a basket by tucking in the uprights and how to fashion a rim system onto the basket with prepared rim and lashing 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.
