Techniques of Basketry is the result of many months of research. Never before have so many varieties of the craft from so many parts of the world been covered in a single volume. The traditional methods - coiling, twining, wickerwork, splintwork, plaiting - are described in detail and special attention is given to the specific materials, beginnings, and finishes. Over 400 photographic examples and explicit line drawings enable even the beginner to master the steps of basketry.
