    Basketry making is mainly done by women. Basket making starts by making the base first. Two types of grass are used in making baskets.

    • The harvested grass is dried in shade before starting weaving process. The weaving is done using the coiling technique.

    • Wild grass which is thick and straight like poles is used as inner stuff. Light grass which has wide strips is used to roll around wild grass.

    The grass is soaked in water (to make soft) and used for weaving which helps for bending and coiling. Once the base of the basket is weaved, the side wall of the basket is raised by coiling and stitching method. The motifs of basketry are created by adding colored grass in between during weaving process. The dyed grass and colour plastic strips are added in between to create the design patterns.
