Daily life of handwoven baskets: a fascinating journey from raw materials to finished products

After processing the raw materials, the craftsmen began to weave according to the design drawings. Their hands flexibly shuttled between the raw materials, or cross-woven, or entangled and knotted, and ordinary raw materials gradually took shape in their hands. During the weaving process, the craftsmen would check the density and shape of the weaving from time to time to ensure that every detail met the standards. As time went by, the woven baskets that had taken shape gradually took shape, and after post-processing processes such as pruning, polishing, and coloring, the original ordinary raw materials eventually became exquisite hand-woven baskets.

In this process, the workshop was filled with the laughter of the craftsmen and the focused working atmosphere. The birth of each hand-woven basket embodies their hard work and yearning for a better life. These daily dynamics not only show the whole process of hand-woven basket making, but also let us see the charm and value of traditional handicrafts.
