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 wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
    —Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
