General Note
Alphonso Jennings of Lamont learned to make white oak baskets from his late grandmother, Lucreaty Clark, when he served as her apprentice in 1983. Ms. Clark learned the white oak basket tradition from her parents and in-laws. Following in his grandmother's footsteps, Jennings has gained a reputation of making finely-crafted, functional baskets that will last a lifetime.
