How can weaving extend beyond the object and become an integral part of a space? This workshop explores the intersection of basketry and built environments by grafting woven structures onto existing architectural and natural elements at Boisbuchet—trees, walls, buildings, or pathways.

We will begin by gathering fibers from the surrounding environment, learning to identify and work with locally available materials. Through individual exercises, participants will create small-scale woven objects using spiral basketry techniques. These pieces will be designed to adapt to specific sites, incorporating found materials from both the natural landscape and the workshop spaces.

The second phase of the workshop will be a collective construction, where we will use willow branches to create larger woven structures anchored to existing supports. These forms could also then be partially covered with a mix of clay, dung, and fibers, transforming them into objects, such as seating elements, tables, or organic architectural interventions.

By working with the landscape rather than imposing on it, this workshop invites participants to explore the potential of basketry as a site-specific practice.
