What can you make with sweetgrass, copper wire, clay, thread, paper, reed, pine needles, beeswax, cement and paint? A whole lotta baskets! The artists in Staked Out use traditional and non-traditional materials to create functional and sculptural masterpieces. Some artists stake out the form and weave though with the traditional methods of the Cherokee peoples; others build it up from clay or wood; while others use brightly colored thread and natural fibers to enhance decorative elements.
