Once employing tens of thousands of people in the UK alone, the craft is now listed as Critically Endangered on Heritage Crafts' Red List. This book aims to change that, drawing on more than 50 previously unpublished patterns and techniques from around the world that will help you to unlock the history and preserve the skills of straw plaiting. For each pattern, follow the step-by-step diagrams and instructions and discover how they were developed whilst learning about materials, tools and preparation. Once familiar with the plaiting techniques using straw as well as other materials you will be able to develop your own skills, possibly blending in recycled materials, which are increasingly being used to produce beautiful and unique pieces"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Straw work. 650 0 $a Straw work $v Handbooks, manuals, etc. 650 0 $a Braid. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781789940763 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231206013731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=53E7230E940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
