DESCRIPTION

Based on the baskets of the ancient Tuscan tradition, participants will become familiar with various materials (willow, reeds, olive wood), as well as their harvesting periods, preservation, and uses.

Weaving exercises will be carried out on a wooden frame, starting with a single weaver, then two weavers, three weavers, and finally with all participants, including working on edges. Participants will learn how to create a woven base and a small basket with a handle.
