 What is It

Lesson
Trace the origin of
1 Macrame and Basketry
In this lesson, you will learn the origin and development of
Macrame and Basketry from the different culture of peaople in our
Country.

Words to learn:

 Basketry or basket making is the process of weaving or sewing

pliable materials into three-dimensional artifacts, such as
baskets, mats, mesh bags or even furniture.

 Leather or fabric belts are another accessory often

 created via macramé techniques
 Baskets are one of the oldest form of man made craft.
 Knotted and braided coverings for glassware are adding
a tactile vintage aesthetic to the home.

Macramé’s roots are quite interesting, with a history dating back thousands of
years. It is a form of textile produced using knotting (rather than weaving or knitting)
techniques. The primary knots of macramé are the square (or reef knot) and forms
of "hitching": various combinations of half hitches. It was long crafted by sailors,
especially in elaborate or ornamental knotting forms, to cover anything from knife
handles to bottles to parts of ships.

Leather or fabric belts are another accessory often created via macramé
techniques. Most friendship bracelets exchanged among schoolchildren
and teens are created using this method. Vendors at theme parks, malls,
seasonal fairs and other public places may sell macramé jewelry or
decoration as well. Either way, decorative macramé first appears in

5
carvings by the Babylonians and Assyrians that depict fringed braiding
used to adorn costumes

Additionally, it is believed to release stress through the fingers, making

macramé knotting a relaxing activity. Macramé has the additional benefit
of enjoying the process of self-expression through the creation of the
inherent objective hidden within (Jim Gentry, 2002).

Basket weaving dates back a very long time. In fact, it pre-dates, some
forms of pottery and woven cloth. Evidence for this has been discovered
in the form of stone carvings from around 20,000 years BC. The
materials used would have depended on people’s surroundings and
varied considerably, from willow to roots, brambles, vines, oak, ash,
hazel, bamboo, leaves, straw, rush and bark. Some things were woven,
others were coiled.

The basket is one of humankind's oldest art forms, and it is certainly an

ethnic and cultural icon filled with myth and motif, religion and
symbolism, and decoration as well as usefulness. Basketry, in fact,
encompasses a wide range of objects from nearly rigid, box-like carriers
to mesh sacks. Baskets range in size from "burden baskets" that are as
much as 3 ft (91.44 cm) in diameter to tiny collectibles 0.25 in (0.64 cm)
in diameter.

Some baskets are manufactured by machines; however, part of the

tradition is that baskets are defined as receptacles that are woven by
hand of vegetable fibers. Although baskets may have distinct bottoms
and tops, they are essentially continuous surfaces. They are woven in
that their fibers are twisted together, but, unlike the weaving of textiles,
tension is not placed on lengthwise threads (the warp) because the fibers
are less flexible than threads.

2 A Babylonian doing macramé

Basketry or basket making is the process of weaving or sewing pliable

materials into three-dimensional artifacts, such as baskets, mats, mesh
bags or even furniture. Craftspeople and artists specialized in making
baskets may be known as basket makers and basket weavers. Basket
weaving is also a rural craft.

Basketry is made from a variety of fibrous or pliable materials—anything

that will bend and form a shape. Examples include pine straw, willow,
oak, vines, stems, animal hair, grasses, thread, and fine wooden splints.
Many Indigenous peoples are renowned for their basket-weaving
techniques.

Baskets are part of the heritage of nearly every native people, and types
of construction differ as radically as other customs and crafts. Uses for
baskets may be the most uniting feature. Dry food is gathered, stored,
and served in baskets; liquids are also retained in baskets that have been
waterproofed. Basket-making techniques are used for clothing, hats, and
mats. Openwork baskets are made to function as filters (for tea in Japan)

6
and as sieves and strainers. Their variety and clever construction also
make baskets desirable as decorations in primitive cultures as well as
modern homes.
