Baskets are woven containers. They are extremely important to human existence because they allow for the storage of food and carrying of resources. Humans worldwide have used native materials to craft baskets to aid in daily tasks and requirements. In addition to utilitarian basketry, decorative basketry is also important for artistic expressions of individuality, spirituality and tribalism. Archaeologists and historians have learned much about ancient cultures from basketry fragments which have been found across the globe. The oldest basketry fragments were found in Egypt and date back about 12,000 years. In North America, native cultures are well known for fine basketry. Immigrants brought with them other methods and materials. As cultures and materials came in contact with each other various styles and adaptations emerged. Basketry continues on as an important human activity. Prepare to spend some time on this project. It could take more than 8 hours over several days. Note: The raffia is hand dyed in small batches and might have variations from the colors shown in the photo. The kit comes packed in a plastic bag that can be used to store materials while you make your basket.
