The former Editor of Popular Handicrafts, Brinley draws on her considerable expertise to instruct readers in the full range of techniques required to create beautiful, functional objects from raffia — from basketry and weaving to decorative embroidery and novelty items.\n\nThe work presents a comprehensive survey of the craft, walking the reader through foundational skills before progressing to more ambitious projects, making it an invaluable resource for beginners and seasoned crafters alike. Published by the renowned W. \u0026amp; G. Foyle Ltd. of London, the book sits within a distinguished tradition of British handicraft literature, reflecting a mid-twentieth-century cultural enthusiasm for practical, hands-on creativity. Brinley's clear, methodical prose ensures that every technique is accessible without sacrificing the depth that serious practitioners demand — leaving the reader wondering just how much beauty can be coaxed from so humble a material.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572667584731,"sku":"2026200018699-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/107fed87-8551-4833-80bb-e775a602290a.png?v=1791167224","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018699-secondhand-raffia-work","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
