Basketry

Baskets have been made maybe hundreds of thousands years, when ancient people needed place to storage food and carry things with them. I use baskets almost every, I keep my knitting projects in baskets and pick mushrooms!

Year 2024 my employer organisazion Taito has chosen basket weaving as the craft technique of the year. I have been very happy and interested of that, because I love baskets and weaving.

In this photo I was learning how to make traditional Finnish shingle baskets.

This basket is my design and materials are rotten and paper

Willow is really beautiful material in basket

I have also combined ceramics and weaving
