Basketry from overlooked plants

Delia Fian’s guide brings foraging and basket making together, using wild and invasive plants as the materials for practical woven objects. Eleven projects range from bark satchels and vine pack baskets to wicker and coiled forms, with instruction in identifying, collecting, and preparing plants as well as weaving them. Personal stories and contributions from the weaving community place the projects in a broader discussion of sustainable craft, local ecosystems, and connection to place. The book’s subject is both hands-on and ecological: it considers how plants often treated as unwanted can become useful materials for making.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginners seeking step-by-step basketry projects and guidance on preparing plant materials.
  • Experienced weavers interested in working with wild or invasive plants.
  • Crafters curious about sustainable making and the relationship between materials and place.

Book overview

Discover how to turn common weeds into beautiful and useful objects with this fresh, sustainable approach to basket making.

Delia Fian, renowned craftsperson and rewilder, invites you to gather what grows wildly around you and create items you can wear, carry and use. From bark satchels and vine pack baskets to classic wicker and coiled creations, this book offers clear, step-by-step instruction across 11 weaving projects suitable for all skill levels.

The only basketry guide devoted entirely to weaving with invasive plants, it reveals how these overlooked materials are abundant, accessible and beneficial to harvest, ultimately helping restore local ecosystems. With practical guidance on identifying, collecting and preparing plants, Delia empowers both beginners and seasoned weavers to start creating immediately.

Foraged Basketry is a call to action. Through personal stories and voices from the weaving community, Delia explores sustainable craft, connection to place and the beauty in what has been cast aside.
