2026 Stowe Basketry Festival
Stowe, VT
Made in class with Jennifer Lee
This scored and folded one-piece ash bark basket is a worldwide Indigenous container still in use today. Prepare and split spruce roots to sew with, bend and split a Red Osier Dogwood branch to form the inner and outer rim. Try different stitching patterns. Each bark is unique. Braid a hemp cord strap to make this sweet harvesting container.
