Description:

A film showing how to manually make traditional wicker baskets. The film shows how to trim a wicker, then roll the wicker, break and cut the wicker in the right place and finish the basket . Although wicker has been known to man since the dawn of time, wicker and basketry has developed especially in south-eastern Poland in the 19th century (particularly in the town called Rudnik). Then the wicker schools were created after the Second World War. Apart from the basketry, various decorations and household objects are made of wicker (such as coasters, boxes, baskets, Christmas reeds) as well as furnitures.
