SUMMARY:Basketmaking Demonstration with Gabriel Frey
DESCRIPTION:Gabriel Frey\, a celebrated Passamaquoddy basketmaker\, will bring his artistry to Tekαkαpimək Contact Station for a demonstration on Saturday\, September 5th\, from 11am to 2pm. This program is free and open to the public\, presented by the National Park Service and offered in partnership with Friends of Katahdin Woods & Waters\, with support from the Maine Community Foundation and RK Mellon Foundation.   \n\n\n\nAbout Gabriel Frey: Gabriel Frey is a 12th generation Passamaquoddy basketmaker who grew up watching his grandfather Fred Moore make traditional work basket–packs\, laundry and fish scale baskets. In addition to learning how to weave baskets\, he was also taught the entire process of preparing brown ash to make the baskets: from selecting and harvesting brown ash trees to pounding logs to produce splints\, as well as splitting and gauging the material. Gabriel is one of the few contemporary basket makers who has this knowledge\, and he is passing it on to future generations. This comes at a particularly critical time as brown ash trees are being threatened by the invasive emerald ash borer. \n\n\n\nGabriel specializes in weaving packs\, pack purses\, shoppers\, and work baskets. He often incorporates twilled weaving techniques\, the use of vegetal dyes made from logwood\, madder root and black walnut\, and leather work. He also collaborates with other artists for silverwork and beadwork. In 2019\, Frey received a USA Artists fellowship. His work is coveted by collectors and museums everywhere\, and has won numerous awards. \n\n\n\nTogether with Suzanne Greenlaw\, he is the co-author of The First Blade of Sweetgrass (2021)\, which tells how their daughter Musquon learned the art of gathering sweetgrass from her grandmother basketmaker Gal Frey. \n\n\n\nFor more information about Gabriel Frey\, please visit his website.
