MAKE A STRAW BASKET WITH AN UNIQUE POLISH TECHNIQUE
Gör en halmkorg, polsk variant
I samband med att vi arrangerar ett internationellt korgseminarium får vi besök Paulina Adamska som driver företaget Serfenta. Observera att läraren inte är svensktalande, undervisningen sker på engelska.
Workshop one day
During the workshop we are going to weave everything completely by hand, with a large dose of heart and with any kind of pressure. Because this workshop is not only about a beautiful item – which participants will take home afterwards – it’s also about spending a nice time together and relax. When the hands are working, the head is resting – this is how our workshops look like. During 6 hours of weaving together, we are going to use a fragrant rye straw, which is a really soft and pleasant material. It has a smell of the harvest at the end of the summer. The material is 100% natural, ecological and prepared by hands. The participants will learn a special Polish technique of working with this natural material, a spiral-loop technique, which is very decorative. We have the knowledge and skills from our traditional basket making masters of tradition. Nowadays only a few people are still weaving with this technique. We are experienced with workshops for people who are not crafters, so it’s a perfect proposition “for the first time” with basketry. Furthermore, we are sure that participants are going to have fun and will love Polish basketry crafts.

Presentation of the Serfenta Association:
We travel thousands of kilometres to know everything about basketry! We run workshops for all – even for those who have never tried anything before. We work to share tradition and wisdom passed down through generations. Our work is about promote Polish natural materials and beautiful basketry crafts. We received the JIAPICH 2022 award for the promotion of intangible cultural heritage. We sell baskets from Poland all over the world, including Japan. Not only that, but we are co- creators of the ”Poland. Spirit of ingenuity” in the Polish Pavilion at the Expo 2020 World Exhibition in Dubai. We are the finalists of New European Bauhaus Award of 2023 for our Craft Innovative Model. We want to share it all with you! Thank you for helping us safeguard Polish crafts.
