my basketry bible,
By
This review is from: Splint Woven Basketry (Paperback)
Robin's book was there for me when I started weaving (that was about 10,000 baskets ago) and is still the one I reach for when I need help. Straightforward writing and clear photography combine to make this one of the very best basketry books out there. I've used it as a text in teaching countless classes. It's a book that every basketmaker, beginner or experienced, should have on the shelf.

Reprint Even Better Than The First!,
This review is from: Splint Woven Basketry (Paperback)
When this book was first published, back in the 80s, it was one of the first basketry instruction books I ever purchased. I still have the ragged thing, well worn because of how often I used it.Robin's clear pictures and very detailed, well written, instructions made learning how to weave baskets a sheer delight. Step by step, she leads the beginner on a sure path to the ultimate perfect basket. Intermediate basketweavers are also introduced to different weaving materials and techniques. This book offers something for everyone. I am very fortunate that my deer antler basket pictures appear in this latest revised copy. They are located on the first page of the artist gallery collection in the center of the book. These photographs are an addition to the original book, with several other excellent basketmakers work appearing in the gallery. I am honored to be included in a book that I have always held in the caliber of the Bible. Thank you Robin for the reprint, it will help thousands of beginner basketmakers in their search for excellence!
