I've always had a love for baskets, but have a newfound appreciation for them after meeting Jamin Uticone, who is one of the talented basket weavers in the Finger Lakes region. Jamin has helped carry on a long-held tradition of basket weaving by the native peoples of the area and is now a keeper or the ash's history, particularly after almost all of our ash trees are being decimated by the emerald ash borer.

It’s amazing, at the same time is sad the way the world is changing. To many people a tree is a tree but to me a tree signified peace. When you see the wind blow through the tree and the tree dance for you like a ballerina. When the tree branches move and lets the sun peak through to warm you up and put a smile in your face. How beautiful is God and nature to take care of us.

I just spent 2 hours, mesmerized by a subject, that I knew nothing of; and I couldn't think of a better way to be entertained, as well as, educated. That was so captivating. Loved the filming close-ups, of the detailing that goes into this form of functional art. His devotion to his craft, is so deep, and apparent. You both have made a wonderful film. Thank you for that. I'd hope that more people, will share this gem.

The depth of your humanity Summer, paired with the greatness of the soul of the basket-maker, it touches my heart despite my distance from you both. Your conversation with him is way more than just mere interview, its a conversation with the universe. I love this video so much!

I'll never look at a basket in quite the same way after this vlog. The artisan put so much care ❤ and love into his craft. I actually got emotional a few times. So beautiful thank you for sharing Summer and Sander too for his camera work you always seem to capture the detail and beauty of everything. The only downside was knowing the eventual loss of Ash trees. Hopefully they'll find some trees that maybe resistant to the pest. 🌳🙏🏻

That's the reason why I have so much respect for artisans.

When I saw this was nearly 2 hours, I thought I'd never watch it. But it was so captivating and interesting!! Thank you for showing us his craft and passion. He is truly an artist!

I wish you would've pulled back more so I can see everything this artist is doing with his hands as he makes this basket instead of you being in his face too long with your camera. I'm fascinated watching him work as he creates his masterpiece. You are an amazing artistic gentleman, I would love to buy baskets from you.

I wish there was a way to convey the tactile feeling of the wood through the camera. I imagine that sorting the layers by thickness must be super satisfying 😅

I didn't mean to spend two hours today watching my talented cousin create baskets but I'm so glad I did! Making me homesick ♥ People always stop me at my farmers market here in Houston to ask where I get my baskets and I love to share his work. Thanks for making this amazing video! "Fruit basket" made me smile especially, as it's a tiny private joke of ours from childhood.

GOD BLESS THIS MAN AND BRING ABUNDANCE TO HIS LIFE AND FAMILY. We need to appreciate our artists more.

My aunt (now divorced from my uncle) used to make beautiful baskets. She was Native American. I admired her so much! I loved going to her house and seeing her shop. This video brings back so many lovely memories of her and her beautiful work. I still have one of her baskets. Haven't heard from her in many years and have no idea where she is, but her talent and kindness have stayed with me. 💕 Thank you for this video and the sweet memories.

What she said about hearing the music without knowing the notes resonates with me. I didn't have a clue how baskets were made before this (awesome) video. But like... I could probably do it, with trial and error and it won't nearly as good as his. But it makes sense, the handling and working the wood plus the steps of weaving. I might give this a try! All you guys's personalities make a really relaxing learning experience, thanks!

I will never take a basket for granted ever again. Beautiful. I will see the beauty within them for evermore after this.

Watching a 10,000 year old craft in real time makes one appreciate the value of the finished product. Wow.

Once you work with a material for a while, you come to realize, as Jamin has, that perfection is not nearly as interesting and characterful as some imperfection. The Japanese call this Wabi Sabi. And I love his commitment to keeping his love for making these alive. Kahlil Gibran said, "If you can't do your work with love, it's better to go to the marketplace and beg." Thanks for revealing the full extent of good craft.
