It aims to provide design and product assistance to basket producers in southern Africa. Through its activities TNBW improves the livelihoods of basket makers by linking them to markets. It also works to preserve and revive the techniques and skills of rural weavers, the most talented of whom are often found in some of the world’s most impoverished areas.The New Basket Workshophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04313890989662792724noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475044996999920034.post-22431719686366986772009-02-16T16:31:00.003+02:002009-02-16T19:16:35.987+02:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ijk4LoG8DTM/SZmB4Pjx_oI/AAAAAAAAABQ/2M5SaPwN3hk/s1600-h/DSC07170.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303412839454736002" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ijk4LoG8DTM/SZmB4Pjx_oI/AAAAAAAAABQ/2M5SaPwN3hk/s320/DSC07170.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The last day of the workshop in Binga was a celebration as the rain began </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5475044996999920034-2243171968636698677?l=thenewbasketworkshop.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The New Basket Workshophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04313890989662792724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475044996999920034.post-54834516095022905372009-02-16T16:17:00.008+02:002009-02-16T17:05:18.327+02:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ijk4LoG8DTM/SZl_HPYUtYI/AAAAAAAAABI/RHIQLe__CjI/s1600-h/DSC07180.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303409798569833858" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ijk4LoG8DTM/SZl_HPYUtYI/AAAAAAAAABI/RHIQLe__CjI/s320/DSC07180.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">In November 2008 The New Basket Workshop collaborated with basket weavers in Bulawayo and Binga to create beautiful new products.
