Description
In this book, Bryan Sentance talks at length about the techniques and materials used to construct baskets around the world. He demystifies basketry and gives a basis for understanding, appreciating and identifying the baskets of the world. Copious colour photographs, diagrams and archive photography of basketry from every inhabited continent are shown to provide a rich source of comparison and reference. This book will provide a wealth of information and visual reference not only to basketmakers, ethnologists and collectors, but also to artists, designers and students.
