The diversity of basketry is astonishing: Navajo wedding baskets and Apache water baskets; sweetgrass and black ash splint baskets from New York State; rattan hanging baskets from Bangladesh; lacquered picnic baskets from China.... This is the first book to provide a worldwide survey of basketmaking, revealing common solutions to design and construction, within a dazzling range of styles. The book is organized into five richly illustrated sections, and contains over eighty individual topics: Materials - from bamboo and bark, rattan and rushes, to palms, grasses and synthetic fibres Techniques - from twining and plaiting, to coiling, linking and looping Decoration - from natural colours and dyes, to embroidery and embellishment Everyday basketry - from cradles and carrying, fishing and storage, to rites of passage Wider applications - from art to hats, from architecture to transport Complete with advice on collecting, a glossary, information on where to see baskets, a bibliography and over 830 illustrations of baskets and basketry, this amazing survey will be essential for anyone concerned with art, craft, decorative objects and interior design
