Last weekend it was time again for new pictures of my basketry; a small basket and handle parade at the farmers’ market in Bad Salzhausen.
I always notice that I am a basket maker when people ask about the things that I don’t have or whether they are available in larger, smaller or different colors. I’m not a basket dealer who buys lots of cheap goods, drives around in the truck and then sells them at high prices. I produce my basketry myself, stand up for quality and am happy to weave the desired basket individually for a customer.
Requests for repairs are always the same. Whether it’s baskets or chair weaves. It’s just a small piece that can definitely be replaced somehow. Somehow…..you just have to……you couldn’t just…..
If my answer is: No, that’s not possible, then people will start discussing it with me. No matter how I try to explain why it doesn’t work, the insight that it doesn’t work is suddenly completely missing. Whether the basket base now consists almost entirely of the base cross, the layer is dissolving or there are only a few threads through the chair weave. Some people really insist on botching a repair. And that’s exactly what I don’t do! My motto is simply: either right or not at all.
