Wicker, a durable material

The wicker comes from the cutting of the year of the willow tree. For centuries, he has been working manually to make all kinds of objects, from the basic basket to the balloon basket. Stored in boots after the cut in winter, it will regain its flexibility by being soaked 2h in water. The experienced basket-maker will then make of him scholarly interlacing which will give life to a multitude of forms as useful as decorative. It is all these aspects that you will discover through a video projection, the free visit of the workshop and the exhibition-sale, the guided tour of the museum with the association "au fil de l'osier" (4€ from 12 years old) or even by making a small basket in rattan marrow (€6/pers) that you will win.
