Basket making is one of the oldest crafts, if not the oldest. Primitive humans used limbs, leaves, and vines woven together to carry the necessities of life—nuts, fruits, and game. From these crude beginnings, different cultures have developed literally hundreds of styles of baskets. In many cases, the style of basket depends on the availability of resources and plants suitable for basket construction.
In early times, baskets were a necessity. This was long before the days of metal containers. Because baskets are a part of our heritage, most of us have a fascination for them.
