Marcia, The Basket Lady, has been a basketmaker for ten years. After she started teaching basketmaking, the baskets began to pile up so off to the craft shows she went. She is recognized for the sturdiness of her functional baskets as well as for her decorative accents, using solid oak for feet or materials such as antlers and seagrass. She lives on the Tug Hill Plateau overlooking the Black River valley to the west of the Adirondack Mountains and would not live anywhere else.
