An extremely useful book.... Detailed photos and clear how-to sketches provide basic information on what beginners need to know; the author then moves on to more complicated work involving a number of techniques.Library Journal
Burns lives and works in England, where the tradition of growing rush and willow for basketry is well established. This book has an interesting section on growing and harvesting in addition to the more usual material on tools and techniques. Step-by-step projects include baskets, chair seats, garden structures, and an Irish coracle (curragh), a traditional wicker and canvas boat. Unusual projects make this a good addition to crafts collections that may already possess books on wicker craft such as Flo Hoppe's Contemporary Wicker Basketry (LJ 2/15/97).Book Details
