Birch Bark Beth on Learning the Craft

Something clicked when Beth Homa Kraus took her first basket weaving class at North House Folk School in Grand Marais. Now Birch Bark Beth advances the American craft with creative experimentation. Step into the forest and workshop with Making It Up North, www.makingitupnorth.com

Great stuff.

I like this girls attitude, work, and her ladder !

I absolutely love what you do. I make pine needle baskets and it is so amazing that you can gather something out of the woods, and turn it into art.

I can't believe there's no comments and few likes ! Great video. Well made. Delightfull artist and host. I do black ash basketry but started with birch bark. Amazing material birch bark. My hope is to build a small but full size BB canoe. I've most of the materials and have done a 1/5 scale model. I also did a slideshow video on it under "my name".
