Workshop: Basket Weaving with Grasses, Herbs & Flowers

Basket weaving is as old as humanity and has now become part of Austria's intangible cultural heritage. Many beautiful grasses, herbs, and flowers can be transformed into wonderfully colorful baskets.

After a brief excursion into the world of sweet and sour grasses, participants will create a round basket under guidance, which everyone can take home after the workshop. Basket weaving is older than pottery and was once the winter work of many farmers. In the past, rye straw and willow were used for baskets.

Materials such as grasses, herbs, needles, and thread will be provided for the participants. Those who wish can bring dried ornamental grasses (zebra grass, cleaning grass, etc.) from home.
