Customer Reviews

You really can learn a craft from a book.

At least basketry from this how-to. Many black-and-white pictures and diagrams explain how to manipulate materials by hand and produce a decent basket. Then we take it further with natural dyes. And what is this? Lids and handles. It looks like many Christmas presents this year. Contents: 1. About baskets in the past 2. words and tools 3. basic basket 4. weaves 5. centers 6. borders 7. lids 8. handles 9. lining 10. colors

Excellent Beginner Book

This is the best book I've seen for someone who has never made a basket. It has many pictures of each stage, and very clear instructions.
