Basketry: the Shaker Tradition: Nothing is quite as handsome – or practical – as a beautifully constructed Shaker basket.

In works and photos, many in brilliant color, you will meet the Shaker artisans of the past, visit their communities, see their handiwork, and appreciate the Shaker spirit that is part of every Shaker basket. You'll also be introduced to the traditional tools and techniques used to make these magnificent baskets.

Then it's your turn to join in. In more than 300 clear step-by-step photos, master basketmaker John McGuire leads you through the process of making your own Shaker basket.

By choosing from several basic basket styles, such as the Cat Head or Spoon, and innumerable variations of rims, handles, and finishing details, you can make a basket that accurately echoes the tradition of the Shakers yet is uniquely yours. It will be an heirloom basket that you will enjoy making and proudly display.
