Alice Ogden

Alice has been a basketmaker for more than 20 years. The materials she uses are gathered and harvested from local areas of NH. She uses the traditional methods of stripping off layers of growth rings from Black Ash trees to supply her with basket splints. In 1995, Alice received a regional artist fellowship from the New England Foundation for the Arts. She is a long time member of the League of NH Craftsmen, annually demonstrating at their fair in Sunapee where she won the "Best in Traditional Design Award" in 1991. Alice had her work displayed on the White House Christmas tree as part of the "Year of the American Crafts 1993." She has been featured on the Boston TV show Evening Magazine, and her work has appeared in The Boston Globe, New Hampshire Profiles, and the 1995 Directory of Traditional Crafts in Early American Life magazine. In 1999 her work was featured in the book Baskets: A Book for Makers and Collectors.
