A guide to the history of basketry and willow weaving, from ancient times to today, plus photos and information for crafters. The story begins in prehistory, when people first wove plant fibers together to create containers, shelters, and fences. This book explores the ways in which basketry and willow weaving has continued to be important throughout human history in artistic, economic, and functional terms. It brings us up to date via interviews with modern basketry and willow weaving artisans who generously allowed the author a window into their studios and discussed the way they use and adapt traditional methods, techniques, and tools for the twenty-first century. Photos of their work and their working environments offer a unique view into the world of this ancient craft. Finally, in case you’re inspired to try your hand, the book also has a resources section that includes a valuable list of suppliers of plant fibers, plants, and tools, as well as information about training courses, useful websites and more—everything you need to get started.

Whether you live in a house or flat, in a rural or urban environment, this beautiful book shows how to harness the natural world around us and feel more grounded and rooted in our surroundings. 'Inspirational' – Cara Delevingne The Wild Journal is a beautifully illustrated guide from leading florist and nature writer Willow Crossley. Guiding you through creative practical projects and therapeutic seasonal reflections, The Wild Journal celebrates the potential of nature to mend, heal and transform our mood. The simple, back-to-basics habits and small seasonal changes in the book can help everyone to counteract the unpredictability and chaos of everyday life. Wherever you live, there are simple mindful actions – from listening to birdsong instead of rushing on your commute, to collecting natural treasures such as feathers, branches, pebbles or pine cones. Willow shares her creative techniques for bringing nature into your daily routine – whether it's planting and potting, identifying wild flowers, trying your hand at beautifully simple flower arrangements or making your own essential oils and candles. There is space to record reflections and your favourite seasonal activities, as well as ideas for star-gazing, bird-watching, and so much more. Willow Crossley's creative approach is informed by an artistic eye and a life spent immersed in nature. From growing up in Wales where days were spent exploring outdoors and flowers adorned every surface, to living in France surrounded by fields of sunflowers, iris and fragrant lavender, nature has always been an intrinsic part of her everyday life.
