Item Description
Made from strips of sustainably harvested birch bark, this basket is skillfully woven by Hovland, MN artist and North House Folk School instructor Julie Kean. Julie's attention to detail is remarkable. This is a one-of-a-kind basket and a piece of art. Dimensions are approximately 5.5" x 5.5" at the base and 4.5" tall.
Julie has been making baskets and ornaments since 1981. She utilizes materials gathered from the woods around her home in Hovland. Her favorite materials are birch bark and red-osier dogwood. In 2001, Julie's artistic talents were featured on the program "Venture North" on public television. At times, Julie integrates other natural materials into her work, including pinecones, driftwood, and spruce roots.
