Аннотация:
This book, now in paperback, was the first to provide a worldwide survey of basketmaking, revealing common solutions to design and construction, within a dazzling range of styles. The book includes over eighty individual topics: • Materials – from bamboo and bark, rattan and rushes, to palms, grasses and synthetic fibres • Techniques – from twining and plaiting, to coiling, linking and looping • Decoration – from natural colours and dyes, to embroidery and embellishment • Everyday basketry – from cradles and carrying, fishing and storage, to rites of passage • Wider applications – from art to hats, from architecture to transport Complete with advice on collecting, a glossary, information on where to see baskets, a bibliography and over 830 illustrations of baskets and basketry, this is essential for anyone concerned with art, craft, decorative objects and interior design.
