Handcrafted African Baskets at the Craft Fair In Rhinebeck New York

Last week at the Craft Fair in Rhinebeck I came across some very beautiful handcrafted African baskets.  This is how I learned about Desto and Tina who were originally from Ghana.  Both were taught the art of basket making at the age of thirteen and have been doing this for over 30 years.  This tradition has been passed on from generation to the next and Desto and Tina are presently teaching this craft to their daughter.

These baskets are all handmade and both traditional and creative design goes into each product.

I asked Tina and Desto about their internet presence and was told they are working on it.  In the meanwhile they can be reached at 413-782-7789.

The baskets in my opinion were reasonable priced; and I am thinking of all the many ways they could be used.
