Hi folks - this is a bit of a weird question, but I'm having trouble getting any sort of answer from a google search! I have some epiphytic plants that I want to plant in something like a vanda basket (like this - https://www.repotme.com/collections/orchid-supplies/products/vanda-basket-4) but I cannot find them for sale in Canada! I have a friend who enjoys basketry and has taught me some techniques, so I was wondering if it would be possible to weave a vanda-type basket - would be so beautifully unique, but the materials need to be able to get wet at least weekly (you water the plants and m ..read more

Bought a little box of tools at Goodwill labeled Basket Making Tools. 7 clamps and a bunch of long poky things with flat tips, some straight, some flat, different lengths. Can anyone tell me what I can do with these, and where I can learn to do it.

this picnic basket was my great-grandmother's (she died in the 60s, so I'm guessing this had most of its use in the 40s/50s). I've tried Google image search with no luck, so I turn to the experts ☺️ submitted by /u/dandelioness21 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

New to basketry in PA

Hello! I'm just starting to think about what sort of plants I may be able to incorporate into my dream property as a riparian buffer that would have dual use for basketry and fiber. I'm in central PA in the ridge and valley, we have cattails, willow, red osier dogwood, and white pine, and I'm looking into the feasibility of flax (also nettles). Is anyone familiar with the region who might have some suggestions for species that won't become invasive? Tysm! submitted by /u/Snackie84 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi & thanks for the help! I picked up this unusually shaped vintage basket with the intention of turning it into a hanging light, but was curious about its original intent/design. Google lens didn’t help and wondering if anyone out there knows what the original purpose was? Too small on the bottom to sit as a trash can and not really useful if it sits on the open side. Gorgeous weave & color. submitted by /u/Druzyflint [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Help with basket project -- large size laundry type basket

I'm new to basket weaving and was hoping to get some guidance on a project. A group in my area hosts one day classes that make large baskets (see picture: https://imgur.com/a/a9p30S4). I haven't made baskets before but I have a good amount of experience with arts and crafts (did upholstery as a hobby for years, have an art degree, have done chair caning). I am good with working off of written instructions, etc. I have a toddler at home with significant separation anxiety and a family member who is vulnerable to illness so I'm unable to attend the class in person. I reached out to the instruct ..read more

What varieties of willow would you plant if you had an acre of land so wet that only willow and alder will grow?

We have recently moved to a smallholding (in the UK) where there was about an acre of land downhill from an old leat that once carried water to a waterwheel and now to a pond. This land was completely overgrown will bramble and grey willow saplings until I cleared it last year, currently just contains grass and weeds. It is perpetually wet, because the leat and pond leak - so this area probably wouldn't dry out even if it didn't rain for 2 months. It is quite exposed to the wind, but has good sunlight. My wife has very recently become interested in willow basketry, and has been using whips fr ..read more
