Wire Grass Basketry
Wire Grass Basketry
C. B. Whitehouse · Art World, August 1917
Article · 3 pages
A 1917 magazine article from The Art World describing how to make coiled baskets from wire grass sewn with raffia. It covers gathering and dampening the grass, starting a round coil, the over-and-over binding stitch, and splicing in new grass. Instructions are given for a hanging basket, a flower bowl with an open cover, a three-cornered basket with a color scheme, and a tall centerpiece basket. Photographs and a lettered construction diagram (A-D) illustrate the work.
