Full Description
Weaving willow to make baskets and containers is a historic art that has been passed down through generations, and in this book, Eddie Glew continues the tradition, introducing techniques he has learnt from experts in the field and perfected.
The book starts with a brief history of basketmaking, before moving on to guide the practical details of willow growing and preparation, choosing the right tools for the workshop and a guide to the techniques needed to make the projects. The ten projects that form the main part of the book cover a wide variety of different makes, from a simple Catalan tray to a lavish picnic hamper.
The book features full-colour photographs throughout every stage of each project, and clear, colour-coded diagrams.
