Functional and Beautiful
Baskets are functional pieces and works of art, demonstrating a craftsman’s skill and eye for design. Early baskets provided various everyday uses and were crafted from grasses, tree bark, reeds, and other kinds of wood. These types of baskets generally employ methods such as coiling, weaving, and plaiting in their creation.
Metal baskets add an extra element of durability to baskets and often reduce their weight significantly depending on the type of metal used. Welding metal creates a simple seal for holding liquids or smaller loose items, though the previously mentioned methods work well with thin, flexible metal strands.
