"The Basket Maker" by Luther Weston Turner is a manual on the craft of basketry written in the early 20th century. This instructional book serves as a guide for both educators and students interested in learning the fundamental techniques and artistic possibilities of basket weaving. Through its detailed explanations and illustrations, the book emphasizes the educational value of manual training in the arts and crafts, particularly in relation to developing motor skills and creativity in a historically rich craft. In "The Basket Maker," Turner outlines various methods for constructing baskets, beginning with foundational techniques such as the weaving of mats and progressing to more complex forms like circular and melon-shaped baskets. The book provides step-by-step instructions, accompanied by illustrations to aid in understanding. Throughout, Turner stresses the importance of precision and attention to detail in the crafting process, noting how variations in materials and techniques can influence the aesthetic qualities of the finished product. By blending practical guidance with artistic encouragement, Turner aims to foster a deeper appreciation for basketry as a significant and accessible form of manual art.
