Basket Weaving - Basketry Types

Basketry Types

Basketry can be classified into four types according to Catherine Erdly

"Coiled" basketry
using grasses and rushes
"Plaiting" basketry
using materials that are wide and braidlike

palms, yucca or New Zealand flax

"Twining" basketry
using materials from roots and tree bark. Twining actually refers to a weaving technique where two or more flexible weaving elements ("weavers") cross each other as they weave through the stiffer radial spokes.
"Wicker" and "Splint" basketry
using reed, cane, willow, oak, and ash

plain weave

Famous quotes containing the word types:

    “The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
