Hi, I'm Adrianus Kundert.
I'm a product designer and basketry enthusiast.
I specialize in products, textiles, and spatial design,
and have collaborated with Crafts Council Nederland,
SUSAN BIJL, and Jongeriuslab.
I'm also co-founder of the Instagram-based initiative,
Basketclub.
I'm passionate about anything that transforms.
The way raw materials can be turned into
functional and contemporary objects with ancient crafts intrigues me.
Designing is both a mental and a physical activity.
I achieve my best when I simply trust my hands
rather than overthinking a plan.
In this way, I really get to know and enjoy
the materials that I'm working with.
In this Domestika course,
you will learn the art of weaving for basketry.
For the final project,
you will create a tote bag made with the triaxial weave.
We will begin by doing a few experiments together,
beginning with the biaxial and triaxial weave in 2D
and then moving on to some 3D techniques.
We will round this out with a thorough look
at our color and material options.
We will sketch our design and cut the material.
Once we're ready, we can start weaving.
We will create the base of the tote.
We will build up the sides and, finally, add the handles.
By the end of this course,
you will be able to create basketry pieces for many situations.
You will need colored paper, cutting tools, paper clamps, straps,
or some other materials to make your bag.
A little bit of weaving and sewing experience will be handy.
So let’s weave some cool stuff together.
