In the UK there are numerous basketry and basketwork heritage crafts which are under the threat of extinction. Current attempts to preserve these heritage crafts revolve around providing a way for them to be continued in the years to come, whether that be the materials with which they are made, the skills that they utilise or the people that they are used by. However, many of these preservation tactics remain in an isolated sphere which exclude many of the fundamental design ideologies that are available today. The project looks to demonstrate how the hands-on practical skills and the tactile material qualities which are central to basketry and basketwork heritage crafts can be reapplied in expressive forms both individually and collaboratively so as to present the craft as an easily accessible and relevant design practice. Using a workshop format, it looks to reimagine and re-incentivise those craft practices through the applications of traditional and contemporary materials in combination with key basketry weaving techniques where the outcomes clearly display the underlying opportunities which are available when attempting to preserve endangered heritage crafts, not just as a vehicle of nostalgia but as a valuable part of our creative human development.
