About This Library


A library of eighteen {18} complete Basket Making books on DVD, learn basket making with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions from this collection of Victorian Era publications.

Basket weaving (also basketry, basket making, or basketmaking) is the process of weaving unspun vegetable fibers into a basket or other similar form. Baskes are made from a variety of fibrous or pliable materials—anything that will bend and form a shape. Examples include pine straw, animal hair, hide, grasses, thread, and wood.

The aboriginal tribes are famous for their coloured basket-weaving techniques. To achieve a multi-coloured effect they first dye the twine and then weave the twines together in the most elaborate fashion possible. These baskets may then be traded for goods but may also be used for religious ceremonies.

This is a huge resource of historical information for anyone interested in learning the craft of bookbinding. All of the methods are applicable today, and each book is fully illustrated, making it fairly easy to learn the process for yourself.

You receive eighteen {18} basket related titles, teaching everything you need to know about the art of basket weaving........
