About This Book

A practical manual offers step-by-step, illustrated instruction for teaching and making baskets in school settings, emphasizing simple tools and accessible materials. It explains fundamental elements—stakes and weavers—demonstrating construction with a pegboard device and detailing single, paired, triple, and quadruple weaves. The text stresses mastery of a strong woven bottom before advancing, presents methods for joining and changing courses, and explores decorative effects achieved by color and weave ratios. Pedagogical guidance accompanies technical directions, with pattern examples and foundation projects intended to develop motor skills, judgment, and taste.
