Make a memento of your next nature walk, and gather materials to weave a basket! All kinds of plant parts can be used for basketmaking—including leaves, grasses, stems, vines, and bark. Author and basketmaker Katie Grove offers complete instructions for harvesting and preparing more than 50 plants for basketmaking, along with 14 different projects that teach the nine essential basketry techniques, including cordage, coiling, twining, wickerwork, and more. An illustrated harvest calendar explains when each plant is ready for harvesting, and photos of every step in the process, from harvesting to weaving, demonstrate the techniques.
