Can I drop off my prunings and cuttings or does Basketry SA collect them?
Thank you for thinking of us. Unfortunately Basketry SA is not in a position to receive, collect and store prunings and cuttings. Our members usually grow their own fibres, or have regular seasonal suppliers.
Can I order a particular style of basket?
You will see from our exhibition/gallery/page, our members create baskets of all shapes and sizes from a wide variety of fibres and materials. If you find a fibre artist on our site who you would like to commission a basket from, contact us and we will contact the fibre artist on your behalf.
​
Do you make cane baskets?
Our basket makers, in the main part, no longer use traditional cane preferring instead to source natural fibres and more recently recycling mad-made objects.
​
Do you have someone who can come and demonstrate basketry techniques?
Unfortunately, we are not, at this stage, able to accommodate such requests. Basketry SA endeavours to attend established community events where our members demonstrate techniques and talk to the public about basket making.
Are your members available to open our event?
Unfortunately, we are not, at this stage, able to accommodate such requests.
