Baskets speak a universal language. They are made in almost all cultures and have been with us since the beginning of human history. Here you will find some of the most exciting and beautiful baskets being made today.

For the beginner or experienced basket weaver, color photographs of basketry techniques and easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions inspire those wanting to create their own handwoven baskets. Basic information, such as tools and materials, various techniques of basketry, dyes and dyeing, and embellishments are fully discussed. Each chapter contains hints and processes that make weaving more successful.

Here, too, collectors will find a gallery of baskets that take the techniques presented and show how 95 contemporary makers have expanded the possibilities of their baskets.

Through this book, you can learn both to weave your own basket and to enjoy the inspiring work of some of today's most creative basket makers.
