Riassunto

Turn the wild plants growing around you into strong, beautiful, functional baskets—even if you have never woven one before.

Wild Basketry Handbook gives you a complete path from identifying suitable plants to completing your own handcrafted baskets. Instead of relying entirely on store-bought materials, you will learn how to responsibly gather, prepare, preserve, and weave natural fibers while developing practical skills rooted in traditional craftsmanship.
Inside, you will discover how to:

• Identify willow, vines, brambles, grasses, rushes, reeds, bark, roots, and other useful fibers
• Harvest natural materials legally, safely, and sustainably throughout the seasons
• Clean, split, cure, dye, rehydrate, and store fibers for dependable results
• Make durable natural cordage using reverse-wrap, braided, and multi-strand techniques
• Master coiling, twining, plaiting, wickerwork, rim, handle, and lid construction
• Control tension, spacing, shape, and structure while avoiding common weaving mistakes
• Complete guided basketry projects that build your confidence progressively
• Repair, maintain, document, price, and responsibly sell your finished work

Built around 14 detailed chapters, guided projects, troubleshooting advice, reference tables, a seasonal harvesting calendar, and an extensive glossary, this practical basket-making book supports both beginners and developing craftspeople.
Whether you want a calming nature-based hobby, greater self-sufficiency, sustainable craft skills, or a deeper connection with traditional handwork, you will gain the knowledge needed to take a plant from the landscape to a finished basket.

Reconnect with the land, work confidently with natural materials, and create something useful with your own hands—get your copy today.
