CRAFT
THERE ARE
SO MANY FORMS OF CRAFT ART IN SURINAME, THAT IT IS NEARLY
IMPOSSIBLE TO NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES IN WHICH
SURINAME CRAFT WORKERS EXCEL. WOODCRAFT PRODUCTS ARE TYPICAL FOR
THE BUSH NEGRO COMMUNITY.
ARTICLES LIKE WOODEN HAIRCOMBS, STOOLS, PADDLES AND ALL KIND OF
OTHER HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS, DECORATED WITH BEAUTIFUL SYMBOLS, ARE
MADE BY THIS GROUP.
THE AMERINDIANS IN SURINAME USE OTHER MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES
THAN THE BUSH NEGRO’S. THE INDIAN TRIBE, THE CARIBEN, MAKE
POTTERY FROM FOR INSTANCE ‘ALENYO – CLAY’. THE TRIO INDIANS,
ANOTHER INDIAN TRIBE IN SURINAME, DO IMAGINATIVE WORK WITH BEADS
AND SEEDS.
BASKETERY IS DONE BY AMERINDIANS AS WELL AS BY JAVANESE
ARTISANS.
