Basket Weaving

Today we visited a local basket weaving cooperative in Maun, where we learned how to make baskets out of palm leaves. Different types of wood bark are used to dye the leaves in combination with complex patterns which makes for beautiful baskets. Everybody made their own little basket over the hours we spent there.
