Basket Making

Job Description:

Basket making is one of the oldest forms of expression. Baskets have evolved into an art form over many years.

There are five types of basketry. Coiled baskets use grasses and rushes. Plaiting use tree palms and yuccas in the desert. Twining uses roots and tree bark. Wicker and splint both use reeds, sugar cane, oak and willows.
