Basket making

[gill_didsbury]

Hi Everyone hope you are all well


I would like to know if anyone knows of any sites on basketry using natural materials?
I have looked around and only found sites that sell baskets NOT how to make them LOL.
If anyone makes baskets could they please let me have some information please

Thanks

I used to make small baskets (got too bored to make big ones) using grasses and a section of cow horn. You shoved grass into the larger end of the horn, and as it passed out of the smaller end it compressed into a kind of grass rope, and you sewed it into a coil and then a basket using raffia. Looked very weird doing it! It was fun because you could just sit in a field and make it there and then.
