Description
This is a wonderful capture of an Irish artist / craftsperson in the process of weaving baskets made of willow in Ireland. Common used materials by Irish basket makers include basket willow osier or withy.
Basket weaving (also basketry or basket making) is the process of weaving or sewing pliable materials into two- or threedimensional artefacts, such as mats or containers. Craftspeople and artists specialised in making baskets are usually referred to as basket makers and basket weavers.
Basketry is made from a variety of fibrous or pliable materials—anything that will bend and form a shape. Examples include pine straw, stems, animal hair, hide, grasses, thread, and fine wooden splints.
It was therapeutic and a pleasure to observe how the baskets were carefully crafted, and difficult to capture the emotion on film.
