It is a great reference for the main weaving patterns and designs but is also has many suggestions for expanding your projects. I already have other weavers interested :) Absolute love my new book weaving baskets, it is inspirational and so easy to follow, especially how you use different coloured flax.

Supply and demand and NZ is a small country." My view is different from this. I suggest that as long as we are offering excellent quality, both in terms of workmanship with our craft, as well as in a first-class experience for participants in our workshops, then we continue to charge an appropriate price for our goods and services, the same as any business does. We do ourselves, our fellow craftspeople and our industry a disservice if we undervalue our work.
