BLAISE CAYOL

BASKET WEAVING DEMONSTRATION

AT WILD LIFE

Blaise Cayol, from France, maintains a centuries old practice of weaving wicker baskets—an art form that produced generations of craftsmen and largely died out after World War II. Helping to revive this art, his technique incorporates all-natural materials that are gathered from locally grown plants. Their simple beauty belies the intense level of skill needed to perfect this craft.
