The basket weaving book that's the closest thing to having a master teacher by your side. Easy to follow step by step instructions will guide you through a series of projects designed to teach you the skills and techniques as used in many every-day baskets. More than 280 photos and diagrams display every step with clarity, giving you absolute confidence to make the projects yourself and become a skilled weaver. Projects include 'your first basket', a simple bowl; a log basket; a garden trug; a potato basket; and a foraging basket. This book is designed for the beginner. Everything you need to know is covered, including guidance on sourcing the willow either from a specialist grower, or the countryside.

"Basketry is a rewarding craft. Being able to take some humble sticks and weave them together into a beautiful and functional item is extremely satisfying. Even after weaving hundreds of baskets, I still get a 'buzz' when finishing a new creation. The satisfaction doesn't stop there either, using your hand-made baskets for jobs such as picking berries or gathering produce from your garden, is a joyful thing." Jonathan Ridgeon.
