Hand made

Have fallen in love with these handmade baskets and then found the old fisherman sitting making the 'nasse' or fish traps for octopus and blue fish, which will be caught in July and August.

Using the car to display these beautiful forms.

Quick, skilled hands at work.

His mate invited us in to look at more, hanging in the back room. These crusty old sea dogs have had interesting lives, captaining ships, living on the sea and now in retirement continue to make beautiful fishing baskets.

The fishermen use cane to make the baskets and trim them to size as needed. The red thread in 2 of my photos are from another maker. Hope this helps understanding them, Jan.
