Grass Weaving
1
Preparing the grass
Natural grass is dried and sorted into even bundles, and some of the wrapping strips are dyed for colour.
2
Coiling the base
A bundle is coiled round and round from the centre, and each turn is stitched to the last with a wrapping strip.
3
Shaping & finishing the rim
The coil is built up into a bowl, tray, or basket, then the rim is bound off and loose ends are trimmed.
