Artisan Info: The Balinese are renowned for their beautiful baskets, which have become an essential part of everyday living, as well as in religious life. Baskets are used in many ways, from drying rice in the sun to transporting live chickens to the market. In religious ceremonies, freshly woven baskets are used because they are regarded as sukla, meaning new. In Puspasari's village, the men make various kinds of bamboo furniture while the women weave palm leaf baskets in a masterful display of dexterity and creativity. Puspasari and her husband intend to preserve this legendary aspect of Balinese culture, and dedicate themselves to the weaving of baskets. They specialize in the offering baskets used at temple ceremonies. They weave a variety of baskets with bamboo and palm leaf. I was only able to study up to high school, which is why I would like to give the best education to my three children, confides Puspasari.
