Daming Straw Weaving

Daming Straw Weaving

　　The straw weaving of Daming County is made from natural, premium materials like wheat stalks, processed through more than ten complex steps including careful material selection, stalk pulling, soaking, and braiding. Thanks to the clever designs of technicians and the fine craftsmanship of workers, a range of products are produced—such as white, supple, and shiny straw hats, baskets, boxes, mats, and floor coverings. Daming straw weaving has a long history, with a rich variety of straw handicrafts. Items such as straw handbags, hats, purses, wall hangings, screens, and straw fashion garments feature innovative designs and exquisite workmanship. The handicrafts depicting figures, animals, and landscape paintings are strikingly lifelike, almost seeming to leap off the surface.
