Basketry is the oldest of crafts. The first baskets were probably used to transport, protect, and store food. Today baskets come in all shapes and sizes and hold so many things - flowers,fruit and vegetables, treaasures, and "junk". The uses are endless and limited only by your imagination. Whether functional or decorative, baskets are meant to be enjoyed. A wide variety of material can be used in basketweaving . Today these baskets are primarily constructed using rattan palm-reed and are strong and durable. Reed is the product of the rattan palm trees that snake through the jungles of Asia and Africa. Reed can be used natural or stained or dyed. With simple care these baskets will last for years.
