Full description
A pretty willow heart hand-woven from a variety of willows - please select your variety from the “Choose Options” menu.
These can be used as hanging decorations in any room in the home, or outside, perhaps as part of a garden garland.
The heritage craft of willow weaving was waning in this country, but with current green living practices - willow-work fits in perfectly as a renewable and sustainable product which will last for many years and will ultimately biodegrade back into the earth.
Basketmaking is considered to be one of the oldest traditional crafts in the world, pre-dating pottery - found in one form or another in almost every country in the world. Baskets were essential for storing and transporting things and in fishing and agricultural - fish traps, crab pots and harvesting baskets. Every village or district would have had its own basketmaker - the last few surviving traditional crab-pot makers are hanging on to an ancient but declining skill.
It is a beautiful craft - completely absorbing - addictive as my students would say. I love every aspect of it and am constantly challenged by new designs and patterns.
So much can be created from a simple stick of willow.
Sizes vary from 15 x 15 cms to 21 x 18 cms.
I hope you enjoy your willow heart.
