Local basketweaver Mircea Cordoș from Breb, Maramureș, had turned to hazel basket weaving in 1985, after an unfortunate accident at the farriery that had left him crippled. His loving wife, Mărioara, climbs the mountain to fetch hazel rods, which he then splits and shaves into ribs for basket weaving.
The complete process of #basketweaving a two-hands tall slat pack basket took two days, including harvesting and preparation of the materials needed. The family was very welcoming and eager to give basket weaving lessons. (Read the article on our Blog at peasantartcraft.com/traditional-crafts/hazel-baske… )

    Respect pt.munca dvs.Nu înțeleg de ce acest filmuleț e redat în engleza și nu romana.Cred ca e timpul ca romanii, inteleg tinerii sa se preocupe de lucruri tradiționale nu numai de butonat pe telefon.

    Great video! You have me wondering now if my mulberry will work. I don't have enough hazel yet, but working on it.
