The following is the first of a two-part video series on traditional french basketry with Lionel Demandre (my dad). Lionel has been weaving baskets for over 40 years and aims to share this beautiful trade with as many people as possible. We hope that the video being English, and of higher quality will make it accessible to as many people as possible. Sorry about the audio problems, we tried our best!
