Two participants registered for today’s braiding course. This meant I could focus more intensively on each individual, which also meant that the goal could be set a little higher.
But first, as always, it began with the flooring and braiding out the floor. After it was completed, a foot chine was first braided on. The finished basket will then stand on this later, thus protecting the actual bottom of the basket.
After the stands were sharpened and staked, the foot chine was braided with 2×4 willows. And only then were the displays erected.
From here everything went as usual. The hull chine and layer were braided and pairs of willows, which inevitably arise due to the braiding technique, were broken up.
After the basket had increased in height, the clothespins were used. These served as spacers to weave in integrated handles. Two rounds later, all that was missing was the award and after a good 7 hours of weaving work, interrupted only by lunch, the course participants were able to admire their finished basket.
