Product Description Includes instructions for a variety of wicker baskets, and provides information on different techniques, materials and tools, selecting color, and creating lids and handles From Library Journal Wicker baskets, as opposed to splint or flat-split wood baskets, are made from round materials, such as reed, rattan, or willow. In this book for beginning basketmakers, Hoppe, a teacher of basketry, concentrates on reed, which is readily available and easily woven. The major part of the book covers the techniques of making basket components such as bases, lids, and handles. There is also a chapter of step-by-step projects, many showing Japanese influence, and a photo gallery of selected basket art by international designers. Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
