What This Site Covers
OakBasketField.eu publishes practical, factual information about the craft of basket weaving from willow and wicker, with a focus on Polish traditions. The content is organised around three areas: weaving techniques, material selection, and regional craft history.
Articles are written for people who already have some familiarity with the craft and want detailed, accurate information rather than general introductions. The aim is to describe what weavers actually do — how rods are selected, prepared, and worked — rather than to inspire or promote the craft.
Editorial Approach
Content on this site is based on documented craft practice, publicly available academic and museum sources, and established references in the field. Where exact figures or statistics are unavailable, the text uses neutral descriptions rather than approximations. Assertions are kept within the limits of what can be reliably stated.
All external links point to publicly accessible sources — institutional websites, Wikipedia articles, and museum collections. No commercial relationships influence the content.
Scope and Limitations
The site focuses on Poland and on willow and wicker as primary materials. Other weaving traditions and materials are mentioned only where they directly illuminate the Polish context. The site does not cover basket weaving globally, nor does it provide instruction in the sense of step-by-step tutorials.
