Basketry: Rescuing, Reviving, Retaining is a touring exhibition showcasing the designs, skills and techniques of traditional basketry in Wales. The exhibition forms part of the continued work of the Basketmakers’ Association’s Traditional Basketry Project supported by the The Worshipful Company of Basketmakers and delivered in partnership with Heritage Crafts.
The exhibition puts the spotlight on many basket designs currently on the endangered crafts list – contemporary basketmakers have recreated individual basket designs based on their studies of the few remaining originals in our museums today. A section of the gallery shows further contemporary baskets that are for sale. Stunning basket designs including wood baskets, rucksacks, tea service basket and cockle baskets.
