Basketry is the art of creating three-dimensional objects, typically containers, by weaving 
or sewing pliable materials. These materials can be anything from twigs and grasses to 
plastic and other synthetic materials. The resulting baskets are not only useful for storage 
and carrying items, but they can also be beautiful works of art. 

Basketry is one of the oldest crafts in the world, with evidence of basket making dating 
back to over 10,000 years ago. It has been practiced by cultures all over the world, and 
there is a wide variety of basketry techniques and styles.
