Willow Basketry: A How-To Guide

Product description

Easy to follow step by step instructions will guide you through a series of projects designed to teach you the skills and techniques as used in many every-day baskets. More than 280 photos and diagrams display every step with clarity, giving you absolute confidence to make the projects yourself and become a skilled weaver. Projects include ‘your first basket’, a simple bowl; a log basket; a garden trug; a potato basket; and a foraging basket. This book is designed for the beginner. Everything you need to know is covered, including guidance on sourcing the willow either from a specialist grower, or the countryside.

Jonathan Ridgeon is a basketry and bushcraft expert who teaches these skills through his own company ‘Jon’s Bushcraft’. Jon loves nothing more than outdoor adventures, making natural crafts and sharing his knowledge of the wilds with others.
