Striped basket

Amanda Ennis began making baskets in mid 2013. She is apprenticing with Sarah Sockbasin, whose influence is evident in Amanda’s work. We look forward to seeing this young woman develop and grow as an artist.

This basket is reminiscent in shape of the traditional Wabanaki pack basket. Creating this shape in miniature, including a rounded bottom and a rectangular top, was a challenging effort for this new basket maker, but the result was worth it.

There are removable loose strands of sweetgrass in the basket.

4 1/4″ wide at the top, tapering to 2 1/2″ at the bottom; 5 1/4″ high
