Dear Friend,
THE twisting and
weaving of Nature's materials, grasses,
twigs, rushes and vines, into useful and
beautiful forms seems almost instinctive
in man.
Perhaps it came to
him as the nest-weaving instinct comes
to birds—for at first he used it as they
do, in the building of his house.
Later, shields and
boats were formed of wicker work, but
how long ago the first basket was made
no one is wise enough to tell us.
Today Indian tribes
in South America weave baskets from
their native palms, South Africans use
reeds and roots, while the Chinese and
Japanese are wonderful workmen in this
as in other arts and industries; but
basketry has come down to us more
directly through the American Indian.
Generations of
these weavers have produced
masterpieces, many of which are
preserved in our museums, and the young
basket maker need not go on long
pilgrimages to study the old masters of
his craft.
Here at last, the
value of manual training is being
realized, and basketry is taking an
important place; following the
kindergarten and enabling the child to
apply the principles he has learned
there.
He still works from
the center out, and weaves as he wove
his paper mats, but permanent materials
have replaced the perishable ones, and
what he makes has an actual value.
Basketry also fills
the need for a practical home industry
for children; so not only in school,
club and settlement, but on home piazzas
in summer young weavers are taking their
first lessons.
Though they are
unlearned in woodcraft, and have not the
magic of the Indian squaw in their
fingertips, they can, and do, feel the
fascination of basketry in the use of
rattan, rush and raffia.
It is hoped that
this book may be a help in teaching them
"Basket-Making for Fun a Profit."
