This stunning book has been years in the making. It is an exploration of modern basketry, a craft that has transcended from craft to art form. Its pages guide the reader through a visual journey of the works of fourteen Australian basketry artists.

 

The stunning fibre arts compendium is both a celebration of the artist and the creative voice, each,  with basketry at its core.

 

The book is broken into 3 sections: 

• Interviews with fourteen modern basketry artists 

• A materials section with a detailed list of plants that can be used in your basketry practice 

• A how-to section

 

Stunningly designed and illustrated, these pages serve as a compendium of beautiful makers, guiding the reader on a range of basketry techniques; some with an interesting twist on the traditional. It will invite the viewer to explore different mediums, plant fibres, and recycled materials to use in their own sustainable, creative practice.
