The Baskets Creation Process

The Creation Process

• Elephant grass and straw is collected from the tops of the stalk, then each piece is split in half vertically by biting through it.
• Each half of the split straw is then twisted tightly by rolling it against a weaver’s leg to give it strength.
• The straw is put in bunches and dyed in boiling water with dye. For bright colors the straw is dyed yellow first, then the color.
• The weaver carefully selects appropriate straw for the base, sides and handle. The selection of the proper grass for the proper parts of the basket is critical to good weaving.
• Weaving starts at the base and works up to the rim. The rims are generally finished flat, or wrapped with straw to form a tube like edge.
• There are a variety of different handles, but all are made with a sturdy wrapping technique around a grass core.
• Remaining bits of straw that are sticking out of the basket are carefully trimmed off. The trimming is important because it determines how the basket feels to the touch.
• Leather handles are skillfully applied by local leather workers.
• A medium basket takes about 3 days to create.
