How to Make Raffia Hats and Baskets: The practical guide on how to make raffia hats and baskets

By FRANCIS DARROW

Basketry hat making alike are among the most widespread and ancient crafts - one that is highly satisfying to both craftspeople and collectors and appealing in utilitarian as well as esthetic terms. Over the centuries, basket-making techniques have been used to manufacture an amazing assortment of items: crab or lobster pots, eel traps, winnowing fans, horse collars, fish creels, seed-gathering baskets, portable stalls used by street vendors, huge "skeps" for sorting wood - even one-person boats (or coracles) and enormous crates for transporting prize livestock to shows. These items and many more are fully described in this profusely illustrated book of an authoritative classic.
