An ancient technique that is back in fashion Basket weaving is a craft with an ancient tradition that has been back in fashion for a few years now. Far from the classic image of the baskets of the past, basketry is now part of the world of decoration. This book contains all the fundamental information on rattan as a material, from how to select and prepare it to how to plait, preserve and dye it. To begin weaving, it is enough to learn the basic techniques of basket weaving and follow the step-by-step instructions for each creation. This book shows 22 projects that combine traditional and modern designs: from a flower pot, an underplate or a bicycle basket to a folding screen or a frame. Using the techniques of plain, openwork or creative basketry, as well as rattan scraps, practical and artistic objects with very innovative designs can be made to decorate interiors.
