The Ancient Welsh Decorative Art Of Baragami


Baragami is the ancient Welsh decorative art of 'toast arranging.' First documented in Aberystwyth, Wales, baragami involves the presentation of toast in intricate and preferably topical arrangements. A skillful baragami endeavours to make reference to current affairs although there are a number of classical toast arrangements.

Baragami aims to create designs with the minimum use of cuts. It may be necessary to remove crusts or to use slices from different loaves to attain different sized pieces, but fancy bread-trimming such as curves, zig-zags, crenellations etc. are frowned upon.
