I've always had a love for baskets, but have a newfound appreciation for them after meeting Jamin Uticone, who is one of the talented basket weavers in the Finger Lakes region. Jamin has helped carry on a long-held tradition of basket weaving by the native peoples of the area and is now a keeper or the ash's history, particularly after almost all of our ash trees are being decimated by the emerald ash borer.

GOD BLESS THIS MAN AND BRING ABUNDANCE TO HIS LIFE AND FAMILY. We need to appreciate our artists more.

That's the reason why I have so much respect for artisans.

It’s amazing, at the same time is sad the way the world is changing. To many people a tree is a tree but to me a tree signified peace. When you see the wind blow through the tree and the tree dance for you like a ballerina. When the tree branches move and lets the sun peak through to warm you up and put a smile in your face. How beautiful is God and nature to take care of us.

Very interesting and so special to see how much you can learn from others and make it so beautiful and different things from natural things that we take for granted.how special things that we have in life and always know that make natural things either pass on or whatever way you use them,share your thoughts and knock knowledge with others that may benefit from what y you. You use them.

@findingequilibria8772 3 года назад

The depth of your humanity Summer, paired with the greatness of the soul of the basket-maker, it touches my heart despite my distance from you both. Your conversation with him is way more than just mere interview, its a conversation with the universe. I love this video so much!

I just spent 2 hours, mesmerized by a subject, that I knew nothing of; and I couldn't think of a better way to be entertained, as well as, educated. That was so captivating. Loved the filming close-ups, of the detailing that goes into this form of functional art. His devotion to his craft, is so deep, and apparent. You both have made a wonderful film. Thank you for that. I'd hope that more people, will share this gem.

I'll never look at a basket in quite the same way after this vlog. The artisan put so much care ❤ and love into his craft. I actually got emotional a few times. So beautiful thank you for sharing Summer and Sander too for his camera work you always seem to capture the detail and beauty of everything. The only downside was knowing the eventual loss of Ash trees. Hopefully they'll find some trees that maybe resistant to the pest. 🌳🙏🏻

@FlockFingerLakes 3 года назад

We're all hoping for resistance! Not all of our trees have been affected, so here's hoping.

@anneillerbrun7909 Год назад

What a treasure this man is, I've had it on all day, keep turning it back to re-watch and make sure I don't miss anything. What an Artisan. There was a time on our human journey that people like this were at the top of the hierarchy, back when we lived as real humans on a human journey. Such a tragedy to think we'll loose the Turtle Island heavy basket tree.

@kanonierable Год назад

Quite the opposite, weaving baskets was a typical poor man's craft, something Gypsies would do. Actually when I was in Hungary 30 years ago, I saw Roma women selling baskets in every shape and size, beautifully made, my guess is that the craft still is alive, simply because these woven baskets are incredibly useful and they outlive containers made from plastic by decades. If they aren't abused too much, they hold up for a hundred years and more. Today the most common material to make baskets is willow. Sadly we also have a serious problem with the ash trees dying but here it is because of a fungus that was brought here from East Asia. It is a sad thing for it is such a usefull tree, its wood is made into handles for all kind of tools, for it is strong but not too heavy.

I love baskets...and can appreciate the workmanship involved. Watching the process, from pounding on the log for strips, to the final product, was fascinating. Jamin Uticone's work is meticulous and very high quality. I'm very impressed with his young daughter's work. Her first basket, made at age 5, is amazing. A very talented family. I love these videos!

@beadingbusily 8 месяцев назад

As a kid, where I lived we made baskets out of wild grapevines, etc. Not nearly as beautiful as this, maybe,but quite functional. This is inspiring.❤

@vanessagodiin770 3 года назад

What a beautiful skill. I will never look at a basket in the same way since I have seen this video. Your artistic talent should be shared. Beautiful work of excellence. I love antique baskets and it goes without saying they stand the test of time and usage. . Where I am from they used baskets for gathering potatoes. I was lucky enough to find a few old potato baskets in immaculate condition. They say a sign of a good potato basket is you can turn it over and stand on it without damaging it. I am absolutely amazed by the craftsmanship in your work. Wonderful you are passing on this skill to your children. I am going to look for some of those drying basket. What a wonderful way to dehydrate your food. Thank you for sharing. .You are a great teacher of the craft. You should make drying frames /stands to hold many of the drying baskets. I have seen some of these but I cannot seem to find where to p[urchase them.

Watching again. Thank goodness that he found baskets fascinating and that he has the mind, strength and patience to create and teach. He is an architect of baskets.. how the light hits them... I prefer the standing together of stately small baskets to two skyscrapers. The peace remains within and beyond the construction phase. The kids are great too!

@shk2564 Год назад

I went to college for an Occupational Therapy Assistant program and we learned like 30 different crafts, basket weaving being one of them and I really enjoyed it. We did leather working and crocheting as well which was also very rewarding but I think the baskets were my favorite. They are so beautiful and can be an heirloom that is handed down. The dyeing and the different shapes make so many different possibilities and each one is so unique! I really enjoyed watching the process of making the materials and now that I’m older and have my own homestead and freedom of how I spend my time I might have to make one again for my daughter and grandchildren from my own land and completely from beginning to end.❤

@marygayboedeker5755 3 года назад

@beowoofthemoviestar 8 месяцев назад

So much potential in all that ash in the workshop to clean up and sort through and split and size and weave with. That would feel so good! And what good filming, all the details. Good job.

Have to appreciate Jamin's passion! His appreciation for the tree's that once lived, and to give them another way to live on through basket form it is so amazing. I have always wondered how the heck these baskets were made; now I know. I can attempt one myself. --Wished though that he would've offered her a chair...LOL 😂

@jsaysyay 3 года назад

so cool to see a basket with such meaning come together. due to "EAB" i encourage literally every single ash sapling to grow, even if it's like a one-in-a-hundred chance to have one resist and live, i'd be ever greatful to have it. a whole cluster started dying several years ago, ironically though, it's been present for a while in the trees, but a couple of ash trees thrive even now as i look at them, the one in the big cluster is trying so hard to fill out this year already, as all the rest died previously. there's also a couple 50+ year old elms so there's some unique trees about. I'm just extremely passionate about doing my best to support the tree species that have suffered, like i even have four little american chestnut saplings.

@FlockFingerLakes 3 года назад

We too have ash in our forest and some that would typically be "taken out" of the forest are now left if they haven't been affected by EAB. Hoping, hoping hoping there is some resistance out there. We've personally noticed that the ash trees that are surrounded by other species have been salvaged thus far. The others that are out in the open-not the case. It's crazy to see all the "gaps" in the forest now. Chestnut like you mention, beech, hemlock, now ash.....Makes you wonder what will become of our forest biodiversity.

@mei-lingjhou4752 2 года назад

Artist really!

@rachelholdt6840 Год назад

We have a giant American elm that survived here in North Central Nebraska. It's so majestic. We have a couple ash trees that so far are doing OK, but time will tell. Makes me wonder if it's due to disruption of the land water cycles, poor nutrient cycling from undergrazing and overgrazing of silvopasture, as well as all the low levels of pesticides that are fairly well spread throughout the environment at this point, all combining to weaken the immune systems of all the trees.

@truenature5147 2 года назад

Absolutely brilliant, thank you so much for sharing such detail of basket weaving. I've always loved baskets since I was a young child, and still find myself checking them out at op shops and second hand markets. They just mesmerise me. You've got me inspired to find a class teaching this skill.

I wish you would've pulled back more so I can see everything this artist is doing with his hands as he makes this basket instead of you being in his face too long with your camera. I'm fascinated watching him work as he creates his masterpiece. You are an amazing artistic gentleman, I would love to buy baskets from you.

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I've always wanted to give these baskets a go. My friend Hoppy has one that he got from an old timer here in the Catskills. And a word of hope: while the ash are dying and the borers are spreading, take heart that the mighty ash will come back and the borer invasion will eventually be thwarted, though not in our short lifetime. Cheers.

Found this by accident. I had wondered how these pretty bands were made, but never thought about making them. I knit, crochet and sew… and I have to say I’m thoroughly delighted to watch and learn from this tutorial. While I live in a tiny City unit, I doubt I will get into it… but I can watch your videos and learn and dream about my next move that will include a crafts room. 💞🥰

@EddieSchirmer Год назад

i was thinking there would be a way to stabilize older wood while giving it flexibility. if such a thing was possible, then i can imagine it would make for a very unique technology to continue the process here with less than usable materials... its really a shame what those bugs have done, but so long as a few specimens of tree survive it should rebound in a few decades or century. fantastic work on the weaving. we really should keep these crafting methods alive. the survival of humanity could hinge upon our ability to improvise and utilize any available resource, and preserve the skills to make living in any means and circumstances possible.

I was surprised to see that the video was almost 2 hours long. But I realized along the way that this type of format feels more personal since it feels like I'm actually there, hearing and seeing everything and not much was cut in editing. Maybe it's not for evertbody. It's the type of episode you'd watch when you just want to relax.

@LMLewis Год назад

Such beautiful baskets! I loved watching the process of creating one. A relative who lived in the Finger Lakes area a few generations ago reportedly was a basket maker. Whether she was native American has not been determined. Very sad to see the ongoing decimation of ash trees. My favorite hiking place is a beaver pond surrounded by enormous ash trees that provide essential shade for wildflowers and homes for many birds and animals.

I am the coach of a STEM club for my local HS and one of my favorite events to coach is Forestry. When my kiddos were learning about our native trees it was heartbreaking to realize how many of our native trees are getting destroyed by invasive insects or diseases. Being from southeast Michigan (we are ground zero), I have seen first hand the destructive nature of these beetles. The slow decline in our Ash tree population the last 20 years has been painful. All our gorgeous old Ash trees are gone. 😢

I have a really specific application -- people use baskets as shields or small training shields through time and all over the world, and I want to make one because wood and metal ones take time to build the strength to not cause joint issues and are often overbuilt in the first place because we think they should last forever.
