Photographer’s Note

Let us continue our visit at Guedelon, today the basket maker

The basket maker is useful for the building site because the baskets are used to transport materials necessary to the construction of the castle (sand, stones, ground...). The wicker is the plant which is used to manufacture a basket. There are several types of baskets: the small ones, the large ones, the broad ones and in the shape of hood. In the Middle Ages, they knew the technique for the tight baskets, this technique is lost, the basket makers of the building site seek it. Some time the basket maker makes a mixture of colors in its baskets with wicker yellow, red, greenish and maroon.
