The art of basket weaving, plaiting palm leaves
for straw hat, net making, binding mosquito brushes, and
weaving fanner dishes and bowls is very much alive in
the Turks and Caicos Islands. The majority of these craftsmen
and women are found in the three settlements on Middle
Caicos Conch Bar, Bambarra and Lorimers. |
Many of the crafts people donate their time and skills to teaching and
training the young people of the settlements with the intention of keeping
the techniques alive.
