Willow Projects for Beginners: First steps in basket making and willow art for complete beginners, with detailed instructions for 17 projects illustrated with over 400 colour photographs.

As someone entirely new to the world of willow crafting, I found 'Willow Projects for Beginners' to be an absolute treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration. The author has done a remarkable job of breaking down what seemed like complex techniques into easily understandable steps. The 17 projects outlined in the book cater perfectly to beginners, guiding us through each process with clear instructions and supplemented by a plethora of colorful photographs. As I ventured into this new hobby, the book was like a trusted companion, offering me the confidence to try new designs and techniques. The diversity of projects – from traditional basket making to more artistic forms of willow craft – allowed me to explore different facets of this wonderful art. What I appreciated most was the attention to detail in explaining not just the 'how,' but also the 'why' behind each step. It's evident that the author has a deep passion for willow art and a genuine desire to share their expertise. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to embark on a fulfilling journey into the world of willow crafting. It's a comprehensive and approachable guide that truly caters to beginners' needs.

Purchased for my wife who has just taken up the hobby It looks to be well written with clear instructions and plenty of pictures My wife must be enjoying the book as she spends most of the time in the workshop (once my domain!) Only returning when it starts to get dark. So, if there is a negative comment to add. It looks like I will be on ready meals for a while!

Lovely book. Clear instructions

I was amazed by how many simple but beautiful willow projects this book had for beginners. I had worked with willow in the past but this book definitely helped me to understand the craft better. I can't wait to move on to more books by the same author.

This book is fantastic! As a beginner I found both the instructions and photographs so in depth yet so easy to follow and understand! I think my family will be getting lots of willow items for Christmas as I'm making plenty of the projects in this book! Highly recommend

This is a good informative book with really helpful illustrations and instructions. Would have preferred a wider range of projects with a few less baskets.

This book is brilliant with clear, easy to follow instructions and loads of pictures to help. I've made stars, hearts and dragonflies so far and now have to decide which of the many other projects to do. This book would make a lovely present for anyone who enjoys crafting from the absolute beginner to someone crafty looking for for a new project. Highly recommended

A most useful book as a beginner I find the instructions and illustrations very easy to understand . I have another of this authors books and have made two baskets .

We haven't done any projects yet, but the instructions seem clear and easy to follow

However, the author makes the assumption that everyone will be purchasing their willow. My whole neighborhood is overrun with willow, I will be cutting my own. I'm certainly not going to buy it when it's so plentiful around here. It would have been nice to have some instruction on that, but I guess I'll have to muddle along and make use of a few websites and the precious few videos that are out there on the subject.

Very helpful in both process and inspiration

Going to start soon
