Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Basketry of the Coast and Islands of the Pacific, Etc: Exhibited April, 1896, at the Portland Library Pottery making and basket weaving are as old as the human race. As far back as there are any relics of human ity are found the traces of these industries, supplying no doubt a very positive human need. From the graves of the mound builders, from Etruscan tombs - far beyond the dawn of Roman power - from the ruins of Cyclopean con struction, Chaldean antiquities and from Egyptian cata combs come the evidences of this manufacture. Aboriginal occupation of the American continents seems to be as old, if not older, than that of either Europe or Asia, and when we look upon the baskets and pottery gathered here we behold the results of an industry that originated in the very dawn of human existence and has been continued with but little change down to the present time. Our word basket has itself changed but little from its original, the Welsh basgawd meaning literally a weaving, or putting together, of splinters. The ancient Welsh, or Britons, were expert basket makers, and Roman annals tell us that the halls of wealthy Roman citizens were decorated with the beautiful and costly product of their handiwork. Made 'from whatever substances were most appropriate or convenient, they have been shaped by the needs and decorated by the fancy or superstitions of bar baric or semi-civilized peoples, and have served all purposes from plates to dwelling houses.

Book Synopsis Baskets in Polynesia by : Wendy S. Arbeit
Download or read book Baskets in Polynesia written by Wendy S. Arbeit and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1990-07-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baskets in Polynesia provides an overview of baskets made throughout central Polynesia from the time of early European contact to the present, observing and comparing regional similarities and differences over the course of two hundred years. Wendy Arbeit has collected and augmented much scattered data. The handsome studio photographs complement the text and show the basic techniques involved in the creation of the baskets, while field photographs show baskets in use. Tables present succinct summaries of regional basket types and the great variety of coconut frond baskets. Once baskets played an integral part in everyday life in Polynesia. Baskets are still made today, but their role has altered dramatically as a result of changing lifestyles in the island cultures. Most baskets are now created by older women, and knowledge of the techniques of plaiting is in peril of being lost altogether. Documentation of basketry in Polynesia has been uneven and for some island groups totally lacking. With this important book, Arbeit remedies this situation.This attractive and informative work will appeal to readers with an interest in Polynesia and to artisans in ethnic crafts.

Book Synopsis Contemporary California Indian Basketry by : Bev Ortiz
Download or read book Contemporary California Indian Basketry written by Bev Ortiz and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baskets have been woven for at least 10,000 years in the area now known as the western United States. Originally created by California Indians as utilitarian objects for everyday family use, by the late 1800s baskets had become a commodity that provided much-needed income. Collector interest in baskets resulted in an expanding literature that focused on their collectability, promoted their making with largely store-bought, imported materials, and compared their techniques of fabrication. While most basketry literature, whether scholarly or popular, has largely concerned itself with the object (form, design, materials, technique, and function), since 1970, the literature on basketry has begun to shift its focus to the process and the weavers themselves. The present study begins by surveying the worldwide literature about basketry, with an emphasis on California Indian basketry. It recounts the history of the practice of basketry in California, which began to decline in the 1930s because of lack of need and interest, the economics of the Depression, and a desire to not stand out as Indian. Attention then shifts to organizational efforts by California Indians since 1940 to reverse this trend. By establishing basketry organizations, California Indian women sought to gain respect for their cultures within the dominant society, while, at the same time, rebuilding pride among the young. Based on 30 years of field research with hundreds of California Indian basketmakers statewide, the present study examines the effectiveness of organizational efforts to renew basketry, as well as impediments to its continued practice, including (1) lack of time to learn and weave, and (2) lack of access to properly managed basketry materials growing in safe areas free from chemical contamination. After detailing these issues and the solutions that California Indians have devised to resolve them, the study illustrates the diverse reasons why California Indians continue to make baskets and the varied ways they learn, through the stories of individual weavers, including biographies of four elder basketmakers whose influence was widespread. The humanity, tenacity, and resourcefulness of the weavers are highlighted, as they continue to find new ways to bring an old practice into the future.
Book Synopsis From the Hands of a Weaver by : Jacilee Wray
Download or read book From the Hands of a Weaver written by Jacilee Wray and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For millennia, Native artists on Olympic Peninsula, in what is now northwestern Washington, have created coiled and woven baskets using tree roots, bark, plant stems—and meticulous skill. From the Hands of a Weaver presents the traditional art of basket making among the peninsula’s Native peoples—particularly women—and describes the ancient, historic, and modern practices of the craft. Abundantly illustrated, this book also showcases the basketry collection of Olympic National Park. Baskets designed primarily for carrying and storing food have been central to the daily life of the Klallam, Twana, Quinault, Quileute, Hoh, and Makah cultures of Olympic Peninsula for thousands of years. The authors of the essays collected here, who include Native people as well as academics, explore the commonalities among these cultures and discuss their distinct weaving styles and techniques. Because basketry was interwoven with indigenous knowledge and culture throughout history, alterations in the art over time reflect important social changes. Using primary-source material as well as interviews, volume editor Jacilee Wray shows how Olympic Peninsula craftspeople participated in the development of the commercial basket industry, transforming useful but beautiful objects into creations appreciated as art. Other contributors address poaching of cedar and native grasses, and conservation efforts—contemporary challenges faced by basket makers. Appendices identify weavers and describe weaves attributed to each culture, making this an important reference for both scholars and collectors. Featuring more than 120 photographs and line drawings of historical and twentieth-century weavers and their baskets, this engaging book highlights the culture of distinct Native Northwest peoples while giving voice to individual artists, masters of a living art form.
