An essential volumeto get started weaving willow, including patterned projects and those of your own design
Willow weaving is an exciting and rewarding craft for anyone who wants to reconnect with the natural world. Included are projects on sculpture, basketry, and folk-art decorations. Basic techniques and basketry terms are explained and clearly illustrated, along with selection and preparation of materials, and 13 projects are set out in clear and detailed stages, ranging from practical baskets to planters, lifelike sculptures, and wreaths. Chapters describe four different basketry forms, each with a different set of structures and skills to learn, and advice is given on adapting recipes and designing one's own baskets.
