Hi guys,
Was inspired by Wednesday's edition of Ray Mear's Wild Food (episode 5) and amongst other things I decided that its time to learn how to do some basketry. I went into the woods today and collected a large amount of raffia-like dead grass that was growing in huge quantities (an entire football pitch sized clearing full of heather and dead grass). Unfortunately though I am unsure where to start, although I think I am supposed to be making a basket using a coiling method. Has anyone any links or similar on how to make such a basket?
Help is very much appreciated .
cheers,
woodwalker
