 Bill
and Sherry will be available both days to demonstrate traditional
basket making techniques. Bill will demonstrate how ash is stripped
using a mallet pounding technique, like peeling an onion,
from a full ash log (bottom right).
Baskets have been an important part of the daily lives of the Native
People of the Northeast. These basket designs range from utility (above) to decorative fancy baskets (top right).
Sherry has demonstrated her craft throughout the New England area and
for museum and school programs. Bill and Sherry are from Bradford,
NH. Bill is a lumberman and Sherry provides genealogical services
as a certified genealogist in the state of New Hampshire.
