L'Oiseau Vanneur
With her legs and beak, the basketry bird weaves objects to enchant everyday life. She creates basketry objects using traditional French and wild basketry techniques. She also offers workshops.
L'oiseau vanneur uses her legs and beak to weave objects to enchant everyday life: her baskets, baskets and lighting fixtures are made from plants collected around her nest: wicker, cattail, rush, mullein, bramble, clematis, iris... or purchased from French wicker-workers for strands offering more weaving possibilities. She takes pleasure in combining colors and textures to create beautiful, useful and solid objects. L'oiseau vanneur also offers introductory basketry courses.
She creates basketry objects using several traditional French and wild basketry techniques (cross-bottom, on mold, openwork, on hoops?)
She?s particularly interested in the containing, enveloping function of these objects: baskets or baskets to carry and protect objects, a meal, a plant, a light, a gift?
Her skills combine the meticulousness demanded by certain "standardized" techniques and models with a sensitive relationship with plant matter to create more organic objects.
She also offers workshops to share the pleasure of weaving what surrounds her. Over one or two days, you can try out the art of basketry with her, and weave small creative objects. Contact her to discuss the possibilities.
She can also make objects to order
