The book comprehensively describes the willow plants, their species, climatic requirements, growth forms, care, harvest and trimmings. The instructions are based on a workplace with the associated tools, the aids and the explanations for the preparatory work. Instead of photos, more than 400 drawings accompany the reader. Descriptions and braiding processes could be made more visible in this way. Dark-ground drawings show the work steps, white-ground what is done. Throughout the book the lively texture of the willow rods, the wonderful, tough yet supple quality of the rods is expressed. The book is aimed at both beginners and advanced users, who can choose a level of difficulty that suits them by picking out simple braiding exercises. You will receive impulses from the countless examples and recognize connections. Instructions are given at the end of the book on how to properly treat finished braids.
