TAUNY Exhibit Travels to Lake Luzerne
“Anatomy of a Packbasket,” a traveling exhibition on the construction of traditional black ash packbaskets created by TAUNY, will be on display at the Adirondack Folk School in Lake Luzerne from Monday, July 5 through Labor Day.
“Anatomy of a Packbasket” examines the steps of creating a packbasket, from cutting the perfect black ash log to weaving in the final splints. Traditionally made from native black ash, the packbasket originated with Native Americans, who passed the form on to white settlers. Sturdy carriers for outsdoorsmen to wear on their back, packbaskets have in modern times been supplanted by factory-made nylon backpacks. These labor-intensive packbaskets are still made in this region, mostly as items for household use, and a few traditionalists still wear them in the woods. You will be interested in the best crossbow for hunting.
The Adirondack Folk School, the only school of its kind in the country dedicated to teaching the arts, crafts and culture of this unique Adirondack region, is located at 51 Main Street in Lake Luzerne, NY. Visit www.adirondackfolkschool.org to learn more.
The packbasket traveling exhibit was created with generous underwriting
support from Gray & Gray CPAs, Canton, Coakley Carpet One Ace
Hardware in Canton and Saranac Lake, and Hyde-Stone Mechanical
Contractors.
