What a nice film. What caught my eye was that it had Lough na Fooey in the title.
I have bicycled through Finny a number of times since 1983, and as recently as 2022 and 2023 with my sons.
Such a remote seeming, quiet and gorgeous place. I was saddened to see that Duffys Shop and Post Office had closed, but seeing the name on the building still brought back memories of long ago.
I would look forward to seeing the Hogans though, the next time i am back! Sorry to have missed them all these years.
That little boy toddling around with the two geese at the very beginning is probably around 41 years old now in 2019. I wonder what his life is like now? What a wonderful way to spend a childhood!
I think the video mentions that the little boy is called Daragh. I know that another of Joe's sons, Ciaran, is a basket maker too, he has instruction videos on here on RUclips.

@@saoirselee7209 Thank you for posting this update.
Sadly the geese attacked and consumed him shortly after the video was shot. Ironic, when you think about it.

What brought me here was Joe Hogan being presented a lifetime achievement award by the president of Ireland this year. I'm not sure if it is the same Joe but they look similar in the face a few years removed.
That toddler playing around make me remember when I was kid and visit family in country side... Im close to crying remembering it as even if today we are surrounded by all that fancy things like phones, internet and games, those old days where so... real and happy.
Fully agree great childhood days
I love the appreciation of children and their experiences in this way of living...as healthy, happy enough, connected, meaningful and useful .
That's a very good philosophy of his at the end , do what you like as long as it doesn't affect anyone else . Many people would take note of this fellow . 👍🇬🇧
True words
For a craft person like me i really enjoyed watching this documentary,the culture,sorroundings,their way of life,the baskets on how they do it and of course the people! Magical! ✨
Thank you so much for this. I was a teenager when the Hands documentaries were first shown and loved them so much so thank xyou for uploading them. I had not heard of the Patterns ones though and really hope you have more as I really enjoyed this look back into simpler times, it is almost like meditation!
Fabulous life. Fabulous baskets. And what a wonderfully tall and strong toddler - physically and emotionally strong! Well done Ma and Da.
The quality of their work shows well in the beauty of their baskets....
Great uploads snadhghus. I've enjoyed them so much and my mom too. The narrative is so good, so well paced to. The documentary director and wife and crew really did a fantastic job.
I enjoyed this program very much. Thank you. Blessings to all small holders.
Lovely ! May God bless those pious hands.
Beautiful country beautiful work beautiful people!!Long live the Irish !!
We need more of this . Thank you
baskets are so special love it
What a wonderful film; the paradise that is the West of Ireland, and the timelessness of basket-making. Watching this the stress of my day just fell away.
Some lovely wisdom in amongst it all:
18.00
"I wouldn't ever divide my time into working time and free time...the day is long in one way and it's a wrong thing perhaps to call your work 'working' and your free time 'free time' - maybe it's better just to mix them up and see what each day will bring you...". I'm going to memorise that.
This film is clearly from the 1970's, and it's interesting how some things haven't changed. A world "full of trouble and conflict" is mentioned, sadly just as it still is today. However, perhaps reassuringly, more and more people seem to be reconnecting with crafts and the pursuit of a less throw-away life - more hand-made utilities and fewer cheap items from factories. Spoon-carving, basket-weaving, green woodworking, knitting and felting - they're all on the upward curve right now in the UK. There's a real sense of smug satisfaction in weaving a storage basket for the home instead of buying a mass-produced one imported from overseas. And if you grow the willow yourself, the satisfaction is even more intense.
If you enjoyed this, I suggest you search for 'Jack Hargreaves' if you don't already have his box sets on your shelf at home; it will be right up your street. And see this one also ruclips.net/video/Pa50Ag_bv6w/видео.html
Beautiful, my ancestors came from Ireland to Newfoundland in the late 1700’s.
As did mine at about the same time, but to the US via Virginia. The southern accent we have has been traced back to Irish immigrants along with a lot of our customs, especially the making of whiskey.

My wife’s grandmother was a master basket maker. She made them out of pine straw, very intricate. We have 15 or so of them.
Reminds me of my home in the Highlands of Scotland ,,, thank you
Arisaig and Mallaig have been the setting of some of the most beautiful sights I've seen
LOVED this video! These HANDS series videos are THE BEST! ♥️
I love that he raised his kid to speak Irish
The old language is drowning under an English literary tsunami.
well, it is his native language.
Went to Ireland in 1994. My father was from Crossmolina. Saw Joe in a book of crafts in New Bern North Carolina. I went to his house and bought a potato basket. Still have it to this day 2024.
I'd like to purchase some of his baskets! Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us .
Love this video,thank you for sharing..🍀🌱👏🏽!
Lovely and wonderful music too!

Superb.................Thank you.
always loved basket making l could watch them all day. my hands could never do such a fine cradt tfs
I used to be a basketmaker making all manner of shapes,sizes and uses.Our family business did the rounds of the craftfairs and gave demonstrations.It was a very enjoyable time but when a well-known swedish warehouse opened up close by work seemed to drop rapidly ,so much so that it wasn't feasible anymore .Still i still repair the odd one here and there.
Handmade Landry Baskets are awesome. He only makes artistic baskets now which are beautiful.
Love this series and found Joe is still at it! Bravo Joe! He has a wonderful site here: www.joehoganbaskets.com
Luke Grimm I loved this & toward the end, was wondering if he was still basket weaving! Thanks! ♥️
Luke Grimm just checked his website! He seems to be doing well & im so happy he has written some books as well! Wonderful!
Get rid of plastic. Bring back baskets.
What a simple and rewarding life
I own 4 large handmade baskets. They are over 38 years old. I’ve used them every day of my life since I bought them. I would not change them for any reason. I love these baskets. I have 2wicker baskets with lids. I use them for storage and if I had my way I would own more. 😊
Really interesting to know what people in the county side do and think about life. There aren't many people like that in the city.
there is no life in the city
True countryside is on short supply. Most the youth go to the city
I love this music!
in the 1985 or so I cycled through that valley and though it was deserted it serene and peaceful. .
It hasn't changed much:)
Is that Michael D doing the commentary? These films should be shown in schools it's our history .
Loved the philosophy, and would love to see a follow up on how it turned out for the family
Joe is still making baskets www.joehoganbaskets.com
Beautiful. It's not so much as what you have its what you own.
Let's hope ther still around
we did not get to see the bread when it was baked! : (
They had a rich life compared to today's lifestyle. Luckely for me I still remember parts of this life. Peace ✌ mid 60's born.
50s here d freedom growing up in d country in d late 50s and 60s in rural Ireland I would live my grandchildren to have now .great video ❤
What we stand to lose forever.
I would like to hear more from Deloris. I would like a follow-up of their lives in 2022.
That’s 40 years ago! The people who made this have either earned their reward or are retired by now,lol!
Delores and Joe are still in Lough Na Fooey! Joe is the most respected basket maker in Ireland and gives residential courses at his home place, I believe Delores's makes amazing brown bread for the attendees. His son Ciaran is also a basketmaker.

Interesting!
I can smell the meadowsweet. The smell of summer.
I would love how to make those beautiful baskets .I'd make some & give them to the older people living in the projects .
You can find his videos on RUclips I think. Teaching how to make baskets
@ Thank u I'll look & see .
I’d like to make the large upside down basket!
The cottage and the mountain shown at 5:00 is here? www.google.com/maps/place/53%C2%B035'03.3%22N+9%C2%B033'55.5%22W/@53.5842462,-9.5676007,824m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d53.58425!4d-9.5654167
All this is well and good, but I remember the rage one of my sisters-who ran an organic vegetable farm with her husband-felt when it hit her that her other siblings, who had worked hard in their lives, too, as teachers, psychologist, computer/microwave communications worker, would be retiring with pensions and health insurance assured. Because, of course, they had no health insurance, no retirement benefits or anything, unless they wished to sell their farm, and they didn’t! You either answer to a clock, or you don’t, but either way, you can’t kick about what you’ll do when you get old, or if you get a chronic health issue. Everything sounds good to somebody!
Were those rhododendron?or mountain laurel?
Free-time, Work-Time doesn't matter. I might have more time in my work-time, or more work in my free-time.
Go hálainn! :)
when was this filmed?
1983. The month of June I would say.
thats a peterson pipe that man is smoking
good quality program
I have a friend who basket weaves and she says it’s tough on the hands
Ggl street view around there now.
I notice that almost all of the pipe smokers, smoke Irish made Peterson pipes.
D old fellas wouldn't smoke an English pipe

RETVRN
see these little hands on trades are unfortunately dying out, for mass consumption where they get children from china in disgraceful conditions to make these things paying them very little money or if at all and whacking them out at extortinate rates. and our national language is dying out too its coming back in the north in areas like doire and western bheal fierste and eastern and northern bheal fierste and areas in fermanagh and county armagh and tyrone as well newry but in areas like dublin its barely spoken which is a shame. I'd love irish reunification and independence from britain and the eu not for racist reasons like brexit as i believe any person is welcome here but for the freedom of the nation under a 32 county unified independent irish free workers republic where our language would be irish gaelic and we would be people led, plenty of homes free education free health care called slante care and god and people given rights to all the people of 32 county ireland, and accountable police defence forces prison service authority and government to the people where our people are united too and the national flag is flying everywhere aka the tri colour i hope and wish for that its my dream!
Boring as hell what's to do but work ,a pray to come outa there ,
So a collage guy that had a free ride from his parents an then got a girl Pragnet an then became a basket maker ,much good that collage degrees did ,waist of family money ,,just like today but it's gentrification where the collage kids run out the natural people an there way of life ,for generations,but at least he trying to fit in instead of taking over ,
U missed ur calling 😮
I wonder if that was booze in the stein the child was drinking.
Patterns is a series produced for the RTE by David and Sally Shaw-Smith. Disappointingly, you have chosen to share these wonderful films here without assigning credit or asking permission of the filmmakers or RTE. By sharing these films in this way, you are depriving the filmmakers who worked extremely hard to produce these works of both their due credit, and their royalties. Evidently their continued livelihood is not something you’ve given any thought or consideration to.
Ah go away, fair use rights, what do you want for these things not to be seen? The makers were paid already I'd say
I may be wrong but if you watch this film to the end it does show all the credits ...
@@renatoantonelli3894 Yes you are right all the credits are shown at the end
Do u work for rte
That poor poor donkey that has to hurt his back
