Of Baskets
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page essay on basketmaking by Catherine Ingebretsen, published in the Minnesota Weaver. She argues that beyond technique (coiled, wickerwork, twined, plaited), the defining quality of a basket is the care the maker puts into it. She contrasts mass-produced, functional "profane" baskets with specially made and "sacred" baskets, citing a wickerwork basket in Ed Rossbach's Baskets as Textile Art.
