TERMS TO REMEMBER: Basket WEaving - the process of weaving or sewing pliable materials into three-dimensional artifacts, such as baskets, mats, mesh bags or even furniture .
TERMS TO REMEMBER: WEAVERS - These are the basket strands that weave through the spokes; they are lighter, thinner, and more flexible than the spokes to enable them to be woven in and out.
TERMS TO REMEMBER: spokes - These are the strands that stand upright and form the side supports of the baskets; they are stiffer and stronger than the weavers.
BASKETRY WEAVING TECHNIQUES 1. STAKE AND STRAND- involves two elements, the rigid stakes or warp that form the ribs and a more pliable material that is used to weave in and out of the ribs, the weft.
BASKETRY WEAVING TECHNIQUES 2. plaiting- involves weaving wide materials, similar in shape to ribbons, such as palm, yucca or flax. Both the stakes as well as the weavers are identical which are then woven together at right angle.
BASKETRY WEAVING TECHNIQUES 3. coiling- it is believed to be the earliest basketry technique. This method is usually employed for softer materials such as grasses.
BASKETRY WEAVING TECHNIQUES 4. twining- refers to using multiple materials, one that is more rigid at the base and another two that are more flexible at the sides of the basket.
BASKETRY WEAVING TECHNIQUES 4. twining- is the twisting of two or more linear elements to warp elements. When passing from warp to warp these elements are twisted in half turns on each other so as to form a two-ply or three-ply twine of braid.
