Lark 500 Baskets 500 Baskets ISBN: 1579907318

Basketry is one of the most enduring and diverse crafts in the world. This diversity is reflected here in 500 beautifully crafted interpretations of the basket maker's art. The styles range from traditional to avant-garde, as do the forms, some of which are functional, others purely sculptural. Some are constructed with willow, rattan, pine needles, and reed, others of materials such as plastic, paper, seeds, newspaper, and wire. Whether you're an artist or a collector, you'll be inspired by the works on these pages. Book specifications: paperback, 420 pgs., 8 in. x 8 in. Publisher: Lark, 2006.
