Instead
,
Welch
learned
to
make
baskets
in
school
, from
Lottie
Queen
Stamper
(1907-1987)
.
Stamper
taught
Welch
to
weave
traditional
rivercane
baskets
;
later
,
Welch
learned
to
make
white
oak
baskets
from her
mother-in-law
.
White
oak
basketry
became
Agnes
Welch's
specialty
. She
is
also
known
for her
creative
use
of
natural
dyes
to
make
distinctive
basket
patterns
. The
photograph
was
taken
by the
Indian
Arts
and
Crafts
Board
