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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"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.\u003cbr\u003eNote: The full range of projects are those pictured on the cover.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1523394323\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781523394326\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Ridgeon, Jonathan, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Jan 2016)","offer_id":45657363742917,"sku":"9781523394326","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781523394326.jpg?v=1768891249"},{"product_id":"wild-basketry-making-baskets-and-natural-cordage-from-foraged-plants","title":"Wild Basketry: Making Baskets and Natural Cordage from Foraged Plants","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA makers' guide to sourcing and harvesting foraged plants to make natural cordage and baskets. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaking with our hands is a fundamental human activity; connection with the natural world and the feeling of belonging to place are basic human needs.
