Wild Basketry is a crafting guide to foraged and found natural baskets with tutorials by Ruby Taylor. Released 6th May 2025 by Simon & Schuster on their Herbert Press imprint, it's 176 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats.
There are numerous tutorial projects included, as well as good info to help readers with sourcing, foraging, preparing, and using found materials and cordage from plants. The author also includes a lot of information about sustainability as it relates to crafting materials.
The book is beautifully photographed throughout, and the photos are clear and unobstructed. There are numerous inspirational photos of projects and essays by other artists as well.
Five stars. Superlative book. It would be an excellent choice for public or school library acquisition, home studio, as well as for a shared studio/makers' space.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
