Black Ash Baskets specializes in creating authentic, handmade Abenaki baskets of the highest quality. These baskets are made in the traditional way, the way Abenakis have made them over the centuries. They are both beautiful and highly functional, and with the proper care, will endure for decades.

Choose from a variety of large and small, decorated and undecorated, lidded and unlidded baskets: bread baskets, pack baskets, pack baskets, fishing baskets, and fancy (ornamental) baskets. We can also make customized baskets.

All baskets are made from the black ash tree. Some designs may be woven with sweetgrass and/or feature multiple shades (darker and lighter) of wood.

For ordering and pricing information, contact Jessee Larocque.
