This video charts the progress of the "Gone Fishing" project held recently in Greencastle Community Centre, County Donegal. The project researched the local heritage of lobster pots in this fishing village. We collected willow and re-learnt the skills of how to weave this interestingly-shaped basket.

I have an odd request, could you make a tutorial on how to weave a rabbit hide (dome with an opening/tunnel)?

@BigGreenArt 3 жыл бұрын

Still not sure what that is?

Interesting as always 👍 Is there a specific variety of willow you recommend for making baskets like this?

@BigGreenArt 3 жыл бұрын

Nothing specific, we used salix purpurea, but any rods should do.

Are you weaving the willow when it is green?

@BigGreenArt 3 жыл бұрын

It's not green as in freshly cut, but green coloured bark on dried rods , soaked in water

How do you get the lobster out?

@BigGreenArt 3 жыл бұрын

Ha! Design fault! I've seen them with detachable lids, that makes more sense now. Well spotted!

According to a fisherman friend the lobster backs in to the pot, and you take it out tail first.
