This beautifully illustrated volume presents baskets woven from
natural fibers over a long period of time and from diverse
American, European and International cultures. Specialized baskets
for work places, as architectural elements and for domestic and
farm chores are shown in over 400 black and white and 31 color
pictures. The text explores the origins of the plants which produce
weavable fibres, localized preparation techniques, and a wide
variety of weaving styles and forms. The extensive picture captions
identify the use, origin, material and size of each basket and
reflect the cultural styles. Detailed drawings of many weaves will
enable craftsmen today to duplicate and experiment with a variety
of materials and patterns.
