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.
