Toast Amy Krone Oval Foraging Tote

Foraging basket crafted from hand-split white oak by TOAST New Maker Amy Krone, a weaver and founder of the Cambium Lost Arts project based in the Catskill Mountains, New York. The oak is mindfully sourced from trees on the maker’s land and carefully split to create thin, pliable strips. These are hand-woven with reed weavers into the desired shape using techniques from the Appalachian tradition of basketry, then finished with a semi-circular pattern and a sturdy leather strap. Intended for gardening use and trips to the market, the basket takes approximately 20 hours to make. Each varies slightly in shape and colour. This item is part of our New Makers programme. In its sixth year, five makers demonstrating excellence in skill, originality and craftsmanship have been chosen by a TOAST panel. We offer business and marketing advice, as well as a platform to sell their pieces until the end of this year, with full profits being returned to them. If you place an order today, it will be made for you and then sent to you directly from Amy Krone.
