Baskets: A Book for Makers and Collectors FROM THE PUBLISHER
An art form of wonderful variety and beauty, basket-making allows artists to work in a range of styles, sizes, colors and techniques almost without limit. Celebrated artist Billie Ruth Sudduth offers inspiration and instruction on her beloved craft. She begins with the fundamentals: tools and materials, basic techniques, and dyes and dyeing. She continues with gorgeous sample projects, each introducing a different basket making process: plaiting, ribbed construction, twined and braided construction, twill weaving, and surface embellishments.
