Basketry Video
Playlists on YouTube YouTube has interesting video clips on a variety of topics, but it can be
more than a bit raunchy at times. I have put together a handpicked playlist of
basketmaking video clips and present them here in a customized player just for
basketmakers and collectors. Once you start the first video, run your mouse along the bottom edge of the player
screen to preview or select from the full list. In addition you may choose to visit my
YouTube Channel
or
BasketMakers Group.
Although I have done my best to avoid inappropriate "popular culture" content, viewer discretion
