In the heart of Spencer County, Kentucky, The Basket Barn stands as a warm and welcoming destination for lovers of traditional crafts. Home to Basket Maker’s Supply, this unique retail location is a celebration of heritage, artistry, and community.

A Legacy Rooted in Family and Craft

The journey began with Ardia Herndon, a local artisan who taught basket weaving from her home for over three decades. Her granddaughter, Danielle Suzette “Dani Sue” Anderson, inherited that passion and now leads the business with a deep respect for tradition and a vision for the future.

In 2024, Dani Sue relocated Basket Maker’s Supply to her family farm in Elk Creek, transforming an old dairy barn into what is now known as The Basket Barn. Located just across the road from where her grandmother once taught, the barn is a tribute to generations of basket makers and a hub for creativity.

What You’ll Find at The Basket Barn

Open to the public Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 3 PM (and by appointment), The Basket Barn offers:

• A wide range of basket weaving supplies and tools
• Handmade handles and chair seating materials
• Classes and open weave sessions for hands-on learning
• A welcoming space for both beginners and experienced crafters

Whether you’re shopping for supplies or looking to learn a new skill, The Basket Barn offers a unique experience rooted in craftsmanship and community.

A Small Business with a Big Reach

Though based in Spencer County, Basket Maker’s Supply serves customers across the country and around the world. The business is proudly woman-owned and deeply supported by the local community. Dani Sue and her team work full-time to fulfill orders, teach classes, and share the joy of weaving with people of all ages.

A Message from Dani Sue

“From the moment I made my first basket at the age of 6, sitting criss-cross applesauce in the middle of my Granny’s kitchen table, I have loved this amazing craft we share! I couldn’t be more excited to carry on the tradition together from right here in my hometown of Spencer County.”
