The Nature of Basketry - Softcover
This delightful book presents a wide variety of baskets with the author's view of "temporary" and "permanent" uses, and hundreds of photographs to illustrate his text. Basketmaking is a hand process that has never been mechanized and continues virtually unchanged in each part of the world. Here are found Asian, American and European ceremonial baskets, some of which support lavish facades of feathers and shells, as well as humble work baskets and those made quickly to satisfy a moment's need. Many traditional methods of converting plant materials into baskets are described with pictures of their constructions and discussions of their unique qualities.

About the Author:
The author, Ed Rossbach, a professor of design at the University of California, Berkeley, views his book as a personal interpretation, concerned with the aesthetic qualities of baskets. The baskets Mr. Rossbach has made, his "fiber sculpture", have been exhibited throughout the country and in several one-man shows in New York City. His textiles are included in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, Objects USA, and other collections.
