A Guide to Basket Weaving

Originally printed in France in 2010, A Guide to Basket Weaving by Marie Pieroni is filled with 284 photos and illustrations. Pieroni discusses using willow, rattan, rush and tree branches. Chapters include Tools, Essential Techniques, Bases, Stakes, Upsetting and Borders.

Basket makers will find lots of terminology and step-by-step examples of various techniques (this is not a how-to for making a basket from beginning to end). A glossary of terms is provided for quick reference. This informative guide will be a welcome addition to any basket weaver’s library. Paperback; 96 pages. Copyright 2014.
