Basket: white oak
-
This grouping of white oak baskets was made by Cherokee basket weaver Agnes Welch. Agnes Lossie Welch (1925-1997) was known for making white oak baskets. Unlike most Cherokee basket weavers, she did not learn this craft through her family. Instead, Welch learned to make baskets in school, from Lottie Queen Stamper (1907-1987). Stamper taught Welch to weave traditional rivercane baskets; later, Welch learned to make white oak baskets from her mother-in-law. White oak basketry became Agnes Welch's specialty. She is also known for her creative use of natural dyes to make distinctive basket patterns. This undated photograph was taken by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board.
