For today’s Traditional Craft Tuesday we’re sharing a new documentary about Swamp Road Baskets black ash basketry and the effects of the emerald ash borer on this traditional craft.

Posted @withregram • @swamproadbaskets Swamp Road Baskets invites you to follow this link to watch a new 2 hour YouTube documentary created by our friends @flockfingerlakes. We discuss what was, what is and create a basket step by step. https://youtu.be/RIK0Na0iZ34

@flockfingerlakes Sometimes you don't realize the full beauty of what you have until it's gone. ⁣
⁣
For many of us who don't live near a forest, we may not be able to comprehend the extent of the loss of our ash trees to the invasive emerald ash borer, (which is nearly 100% fatal). Over a hundred million of our ash trees have succumbed—and those who have relied on ash like @Swamproadbaskets deeply feels the loss.⁣
⁣
A special 2-hour video on culture, basket making, and the loss of a whole genus of trees in our forests up @flockfingerlakes YT channel. ⁣
