Sosse Baker’s Baskets

bannerBg
Sosse Baker started out crafting traditional Shaker reproduction baskets with neutral colors and intricate weaves. But boredom set in. She started thinking about colorful Native American baskets, and as she says, “everything changed after that.” Sosse’s handwoven baskets are a bright mix of styles, from colorful creations inspired by rag rugs to traditional Cherokee patterns. She’s been churning them out for 35 years and they’re not only gorgeous but useful household containers. Baskets range from $75 to $150. Visit the Chester Gallery to see a selection of Sosse’s baskets and a rare installation of prints by Sol LeWitt. At the Chester Gallery – 860.526.9822
