Maré LeMay

I took my first basket weaving class over forty years ago and have been weaving and teaching basketry ever since. Drawn first to utility baskets due to my background in farming, the baskets I weave all serve to be put to use. Farmer’s market goers in Bath where I market baskets and cut flowers can be found donning my pack baskets or carrying market goods in my totes and harvest baskets. You can also find my various lines of baskets at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and in shops across the midcoast where I live, farm, and weave. My appreciation for the beautiful surprises the natural world offers us is reflected in my basket design and in my other loves of wreath making and working creatively with the flora I find and grow in Maine.
