Timeless and universal, basketry comes in an infinite variety of forms, uses, techniques and materials.
With Gabriel Thiney, wickerworker and basket-maker
It seems that plant weaving has been with mankind since the dawn of time, but is it only mankind when you consider what some birds and plants do?
Through the creation of a basket, this workshop leads us to the discovery of the original and archaic dimension of basketry. There’s no need for any particular technique here, just to feel and understand wicker and its possibilities, to work with it and weave it together, strand by strand, just as a bird makes its nest.
Workshop linked to the craft cycle
Discover and learn a wide range of skills from creators who are passionate about passing them on.
