Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Numerous Photographs (illustrator). Dust jacket complete but price clipped, slight fading to spine and edges.Cream cloth with brown titling. 199 pages. As a hand process that has never been mechanized, basket making remains almost as it was thousands of years ago. It is a craft that has escaped fundamental modification or 'improvement' and thus retains and clearly demonstrates the basic characteristics of the textiles it employs. Baskets have never lost their identity as constructions of fiberand indeed are looked on today as examples of "fiber sculpture". Their modular nature has always been easily perceptible; their patterns continually show their development from intersecting linear elements. This book illustrates and discusses a wide variety of baskets from all over the world, from those in museum collections to those commonly used today. Ceremonial baskets with lavish facades of feathers and shells appear alongside humble work baskets and those made quickly to satisfy a moment's need. Traditional methods of converting plant materials into baskets are described and their special qualities examined, while at the same time the author offers a contemporary response to the ancient technology.
