Crowned in 2020 Grand Master of Living Tradition by the Quebec Living Heritage Council, Stephen Jerome continues the tradition of making black ash baskets, passed down from father to son for several generations.
Stephen Jerome is a unique professional craftsman from Gesgapegiag who masters the entire basket making process. From the choice of the tree along the Cascapedia River to the creation of flexible ribbons and the weaving of baskets, the techniques are numerous. A proud representative of the Mi’kmaq nation, he takes great pleasure in passing on his art to members of his community and to all those interested in traditional basketry.
