Basket Making and Ash Pounding Demonstrations with Annette and Luc Nolett

To celebrate the end of our exhibition Of Baskets and Borers, we will host one final in-person event of the summer.

Visiting us from Odanak in Quebec, Annette Nolett and her nephew, Luc Nolett, will provide us with a demonstration of basket making—from start to finish. Luc Nolett will demonstrate the ash tree pounding needed to separate the rings of the tree in order to make splints for basket weaving. Annette Nolett will demonstrate her basket making process—showing us the skills and knowledge ​she has learned throughout her life.
