The Michigan Heritage Basket Collection
The Association of Michigan Basketmakers (AMB)
has created a growing collection of baskets and related documentation at
the MSU Museum that is intended to preserve the heritage of basketmaking
in Michigan. The collection consists of 56 baskets reflecting many styles
and techniques and represents the work of the honorees chosen from nominations
put forward to the AMB by its members.
With support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, the
AMB is also in the process of documenting the work of the honorees through
still and video photography and taped interviews. These materials, along
with records of AMB, form a collection that is a solid resource for education,
exhibition, and research for those interested in basketry, Michigan, and
the formation of grassroots organizations such as the AMB.
To see the complete collection go to Great
Lakes Basketry.
