new26c.TIF (187022 bytes) Twined Basketry
by Julia Marden, Aquinnah Wampanoag   
   Twined basketry was once widely praticed throughout the northeast, but since the 19th century declined due to the widespread adoption of woodsplint basketry. Twining is known from only a small sampling of surviving baskets and archaeological fragments. The traditional materials used included corn husks, grasses, rushes, bark fibers, and cordage made from native plants such as milkweed, dogbane (Indian hemp), and false nettle.
    Twining has seen a limited revival amongst the Wampanoag and Naraagansett   Most of those who create twined bags and baskets use commercial fibers such as hemp, jute, linen, and cotton. Occasionally traditional   fibers are used.
    Julia Marden is one of the more talented artists. She uses designs derived from northeast woodland cultures. Her work is noted for the particularly tight quality of the twining. In addition to twined basketry she also twines sashes and garters for ceremonial dress.
