How to make a beautiful, crooked basket (1x2)

Air date: Oct 23, 2015

Who actually knows how to weave a basket? What do you need to know? How much skill do you need? And how much time - the time to weave it and also the time to show how it's done? In the “Craftsmanship” series, SWR television lets its viewers participate in the creation of a special basket and shows images that will stay with them. Its name: “Hüftschmeichler”. It is a shopping basket that hugs the hips, individual and unique. Its maker from Kindenheim in the Palatinate is Monika Nickel-Stein, 40 years young and a master basket weaver. She combines old, traditional craftsmanship with new, modern, sometimes quirky ideas - like the one for the beautiful, crooked shopping basket.
