Artist Carrie Hill introduces traditional materials, including black ash and sweetgrass, and teaches basic weaving techniques so you can create your own one-of-a-kind black ash business card holder.
Carrie Hill is a Haudenosaunee woman from Akwesasne Mohawk Territory and owner of Chill Baskets. In 2014 Carrie left her position at the Mohawk School in Hogansburg, NY to pursue basket making full time. The tradition of weaving Black Ash Splints and Sweetgrass goes back many generations in Carrie’s family, and her first teacher was her Aunt. Weaving felt natural to Carrie, and she fell in love with the entire process – she was soon creating her own unique pieces. Her work has been sent all over the world including an entire collection representing the Haudenosaunee People for the U.S. Embassy in Swaziland, Africa.
