Rattan Weaving
Rattan weaving is a traditional craft that involves creating items from the flexible stems of the rattan plant. This natural material is known for its strength and durability, making it ideal for furniture, baskets, and decorative items. Artisans skillfully weave rattan into various shapes and designs, often using techniques passed down through generations.
The process of rattan weaving requires careful preparation of the rattan strips, which are soaked to enhance their pliability. Once ready, artisans can create intricate patterns and structures. This craft not only provides functional products but also supports local economies and preserves cultural heritage in many regions where rattan is abundant.
