Why learn how to make baskets in 2013?
The baskets, that are now in the shops for a few Euros, are not able to tell us almost nothing about their history. Learn how to make an object crafted resume means a deep bond between man and nature, his ancestors and traditions.
In ages past every country had a "basket characteristic", in fact you can see the different ways to weave the rushes. In an age dominated by consumerism and waste, realise a basket becomes an innovative aspect.
Knowing plants and seasons is enough to create objects that will last a long time as opposed to new materials, that could pollute the environment if not disposed of properly. The course, therefore, aims to bring to light an art now endangered.
From 13 June 2013 to 08 August 2013.
Every Thursday from 18:30 to 20:30, at the headquarters of the Elders of Torrepaduli
