Weaving Details
Natural materials for these baskets have been hand gathered or cultivated by the weavers. The inside of the coils consists of native grasses. Sisal fiber is then finely stitched on the outside of the coil. The Sisal plant, a species of Agave and close relative of the Yucca plant of the American Southwest, grows wild throughout Rwanda. Up to 1,000 fibers are stripped out of the sword-shaped leaves by pushing the leaf between a metal can and piece of wood to remove the pulp. The fine fibers that remain are then spun into long threads, and hand-woven using traditional patterns interpreted in modern colors.
Weaving baskets in Rwanda
In Rwanda, “the land of a thousand hills”, weavers from many tribes, including the recently warring Hutus and Tutsis, create sisal bowl baskets as symbols of peace, reconciliation, self- reliance and hope.
