Basket-making is an ancient craft. Sites in the Middle East show that weaving techniques were used to make mats and baskets at least as early as 8000 BCE. Basket expert Steen Madsen has spent a lifetime studying the history of basket weaving in Europe. For the last quarter-century, he has been a full-time basket maker, growing willow, teaching basket making, educating apprentices, and weaving baskets. Much of his weaving work is for museums, film and theatre productions and for artists and collectors.
