Weaving Nubian Baskets
Nubian refugees in Uganda, Kenya and other countries work hard to preserve their native culture through traditional activities such as basket weaving.
Weavers create these baskets by wrapping palm leaf fibers around a coil of papyrus, then stitching the coils together.

I think I have at least one basket in every room of my home, including bathrooms. They are so beautiful, the shapes, the colors and of course how masterfully they are crafted. I also love that you include information about the artists. In fact, I have the photograph of the woman who made my first basket, the Zulu Ilala Palm, hanging beside my desk. She's holding her spectacular creation, smiling with pride. I love that photograph. Thank you for seeking out these talented artists and giving them a marketplace for their baskets. Clare
Your baskets are gorgeous! Sue
