Welcome to BasketMakers Journal
I will use this journal to let you know about new site additions and news of importance to the basketry community. In addition I will use it to direct basket collectors to online and on-site auctions that include baskets and let basketmakers know about upcoming exhibits, lectures, demonstrations, festivals, markets, conferences, master workshops and other basketry events. Visit BasketMakers.com for more about basketry in a directory format.
ABOUT ME
- Susi Nuss ~ Basketmaker
- I have been a basketmaker and basket collector since the 1970's. I weave historically accurate traditional New England baskets. My primary material is Black Ash woodsplint. I have been the sole author and editor of BasketMakers.com, an independent niche informational site about basketry on the web since 2001. Before that I was the About.com and MiningCo.com Guide to Basketry starting in 1998. I am one of the original five founding members of Northeast Basketmakers Guild which was organized in 1985, having served as President 2002-2004. I am also a former member of the board of the USA based National Basketry Organization.
Basketweaving Quotes
Before Horticulture - "Women's most significant invention here, of course, is the idea of horticulture itself--bringing favored food plants to grow in appropriate areas near the camp instead of foraging where they grew by chance. Two very early physical inventions underlying this major invention-often and rightly called the most significant single invention in human history--are the digging stick and the carrying basket (or other carrier or container)." Stanley, Autumn. Mothers and daughters of invention : notes for a revised history of technology. New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press. 1995.
