Seagrass basketry is the traditional craft of weaving baskets using dried seagrass, a sustainable natural material harvested from coastal waters. This ancient technique creates durable, textured containers characterized by their earthy tones and natural variations. Seagrass baskets are eco-friendly, biodegradable alternatives to plastic storage solutions, and are commonly used for home organization, decor, and as planters. The craft involves twisting, coiling, and stitching the pliable seagrass strands into various shapes and sizes, often incorporating decorative patterns or additional materials like rattan for reinforcement. Today, seagrass basketry remains popular in coastal communities worldwide and has gained renewed interest among sustainable living enthusiasts and interior designers.
