Basket making

Оглавление

Basket making is a traditional technique that has become trendy again in recent years. This is because it enables us to create objects that are useful, decorative, and artistic all in one.

The craft is suitable for both beginners and advanced amateurs. Basket makers can choose projects suited to their level as well as their tastes; the possible variations and customizations are endless. Plus, focusing on a concrete project and working with natural materials allows us to take a relaxing break from the hassles of modern life. This book presents 22 stylish, modern projects you can make yourself in just an afternoon or two. Some of these projects are steeped in tradition, while others are more innovative. Let’s get inspired by the art of basket making!
