Download or read book American Baskets written by Robert Shaw and published by Clarkson Potter. This book was released on 2000 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Baskets is the first book to offer a comprehensive overview of an art form that is ten thousand years old. Basketmaking is the most basic of all crafts in its methods and material, and its development reflects specifically local traditions. Here, author Robert Shaw ("the information source on major U.S. crafts" -- "Booklist) examines the craft's history and artistry throughout the country and through various periods. Once among the most common of household objects, handmade baskets have a cachet that has never been equaled. Despite the fact that the American artisan basket has all but disappeared from daily use (the baskets that we have in our homes today are either made from synthetic materials, often by machine, or imported from overseas where labor is cheap), the genuine example of a handcrafted basket is highly prized as a beautiful and valuable object. Baskets are fixtures in the popular style of country decorating, and collectors search out fine antiques as well as outstanding contemporary basket creations. American Baskets celebrates the treasures of yesterday while exploring the work of many of the fine artists who labor over the art form today. Beautifully photographed and exhaustively researched, American Baskets analyzes the influences of both Native Americans and early settlers, including the Aleuts and Hopi as well as the Quakers and Pennsylvania Dutch. The significant contributions of early African-American East Coast culture and the rich heritage of rural Appalachia are also discussed. Paying special attention to the collectible aspect of the American basket, Robert Shaw investigates every type of basket indigenous to this country: ash splint farmbaskets, rattan "lightship" baskets, rye straw baskets, African-American rush baskets, and more. A resource guide listing museums that house basket exhibits, antiques dealers and auction houses that sell high-quality pieces, and traditional basket artisans and organizations completes the elegant package.

Download or read book Ribbed Baskets written by Anne Bowers and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book This book is about a style of basketry construction called ribbed basketry. These are different from other kinds of baskets because, to make these baskets in the traditional way, measurements can’t be given. Instead, author Anne Bowers trains people how to visually measure and how to shape with their hands so the baskets they make are successful from the start. Anne has a long history of teaching ribbed basketry and her approach is entirely different from anyone else’s way of teaching. Anyone who loves basketry from the traditional to the contemporary will find this book very interesting. In fact, anyone that sees the cover photos on the book and is interested in the art of basketry will want to buy this book! The basic idea for this book is to take a highly successful series of ribbed basket classes that Anne has taught since 1998 and translate that proven knowledge into book form. This is not just another basket book.... the goal of this book is to take a body of knowledge that Anne has acquired through 40 years of basketmaking and teaching and make it accessible to a broader audience. This kind of basket construction is native to Anne’s Appalachian roots, and because of that, she wants to see this kind of work continue to grow and expand for future generations of weavers. About the Author Anne Bowers is a full-time artisan/craftswoman. Almost all that she knows today is self-taught. Anne has been a recipient of the “Award of Excellence” given by then Governor Cecil Underwood (1997). Her work has been purchased by Tamarack: The Best of West Virginia, Beckley, WV and also used in exhibits there. Anne’s baskets have been shown at many juried art and craft shows; most notably, the Waterford Crafts Exhibit (1992 – 2002), the Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Show in Charles Town, WV (1989 – 2001); the National Craft Show in Gaithersburg, MD (1989 – 1993); and the National Audubon Society Holiday Fair in Chevy Chase, MD (1995 – 1997). Her baskets have been shown in several solo exhibits as well as “The Best of West Virginia” exhibit at Tamarack (2009); the National Basketry Organization’s exhibits, “Beyond Basketry 2008”; and “Basketry Today: A New World of Methods and Materials” (2002) at the New Hampshire Institute of Art. Anne has also won Viewer’s Choice, and Professional prizes several years in various categories from the North Carolina Basketry Association, the Missouri Basketry Guild, and the Heritage Craft Center, Martinsburg, WV. In the first 20 years of Anne’s career, she made and sold baskets of all kinds at various high-end craft shows and at her studio in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Slowly she transitioned from making baskets into teaching basketry, which she still enjoys. Teaching has become Anne’s life’s work, and she conducts classes all over the United States at various established conventions and conferences in WV, VA, MD, NC, SC, FL, VT, NH, MO, MI, KY, TN, CT, WI, NY, IN, CA, WA and OH, and in her studio and, even, on occasion, cruise ships. (All of these events have limited focus on ribbed basketry, as very few teachers know and teach these techniques.) One of Anne’s most honored privileges has been to be a 33-year member of the Over the Mountain Studio Tour in her home county, Jefferson, WV. The studio tour began 33 years ago at Anne’s kitchen table and has developed into a tour that is well recognized regionally. It gives Anne great pleasure to know that the 25 artisans who are on the Over the Mountain Studio Tour are assisted in making their living through the tour. The hundreds of people who come to the studios consistently are attracted by the positive vibes in our group of artisans, the quality of their work, and by the positive reputation they have in their community and area. Being a member of the Steering Committee and an annual tour participant has helped Anne to develop into the artisan she is today.
