Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Wicker baskets, as opposed to splint or flat-split wood baskets, are made from round materials, such as reed, rattan, or willow. In this book for beginning basketmakers, Hoppe, a teacher of basketry, concentrates on reed, which is readily available and easily woven. The major part of the book covers the techniques of making basket components such as bases, lids, and handles. There is also a chapter of step-by-step projects, many showing Japanese influence, and a photo gallery of selected basket art by international designers.

Flo has done it a second time!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Contemporary Wicker Basketry: Projects, Techniques, Inspirational Designs (Paperback)
I thought that Flo wrote the "bible" on round reed baskets with her first book and she has out-done herself with this 2nd one. If you are experienced at making baskets with round reed and you want a challenge, get this book. If you need a good reference to start with simpler baskets, get her first one. This book has some stunning baskets. She gives excellent illustrations and directions anyone can follow. As a teacher of basketry I would not be without it for reference and a source for many beautiful baskets for my students to make.

A Variety of Baskets,
By jan miller (Oxford, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Wicker Basketry: Projects, Techniques, Inspirational Designs (Paperback)
This Basket book has baskets to make for all skill levels.Some are more intrakit. some are very plain, but very pretty for every day use. This book has very good picture for instruction of the various weaves. I take a class in basket making and one of the other students had the book and I knew I needed this book to make baskets. It also has colored pictures which I like.

My husband started to weave baskets this winter...this book was very helpful with clear directions and good illustrations. Illustrations are critical to a nice finished product.
