Basket Weaving
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Basketry is the art of weaving flexible materials to form vessels or other objects. The materials used include twigs, bamboo splits, rattan, raffia, grasses, and straw. Basketry is an ancient craft, and baskets used for storing grain in 4000 or 5000 BCE have been excavated in Egypt. The tombs of Etruria have also yielded ancient specimens that, along with much later Roman baskets, display weaving strokes still in use. What is the difference between "coiled" basketry and "plaiting" basketry?
