Making a functional Melon Basket
About
Making a functional MELON BasketLearn how to use natural materials to make a small melon basket using the traditional basketry technique of ribbed construction. We will start by lashing two intersecting hoops together to create a basic framework. As we weave, ribs will be inserted into the lashing to provide structural integrity and strength to the basket. We will create the woven surface using a technique called randing, which is the moving a single weaver inside and outside alternating ribs.
