Carey
Nicholson is a professional studio
basketmaker, working primarily with imported
rattan reed. She custom dyes the reed, using
techniques such as space-dying and/or
painting.
Occasionally pieces are dyed after
construction and other materials (beads,
etc.) are incorporated into the
design. Using her own patterns and designs,
based on traditional construction methods
such as plaiting, splintwork and wickerwork,
she personally weaves each piece in her
studio.
While pieces may look similar to each other,
the variations in weaving and colour ensure
that no two pieces are identical.
