Among the many cultural traditions that link Africa and America, one the most beautiful is the weaving of coiled baskets. Basket making was brought by slaves who came from West Africa and has been a traditional art form passed on among Gullah people from generation to generation. Enjoy learning this craft with Elma Jackson-Green who will explain how she began basket weaving ....
