NBO’s Wednesday’s Video Todays video is from Woven Lives Podcast, Episode 3. Francois Desplanches. Francois Desplanches is one of France’s leading basketmakers. In this interview, Francois gives an interesting insight into basketmaking in France, discussing the makers who have inspired him, the fairs he attends and growing willow on his land in the Dordogne. He also talks about his own work including making the unique baskodenn and his experiments with scuttle work. Apologies the basket referred to as the Irish Sciathog in this interview is incorrect and should be the Welsh Cyntell.
