Trees, sly, grass, leaves, bark, mosses, flowers and lichens. With the forest as ingredients, you learn different methods and techniques for crafting.
The book contains instructions for 44 craft projects for increased forest knowledge - everything from building leaf garlands and plant crowns to weaving willow baskets, pressing flowers and making a carpet from moss. In addition to the descriptions, there is just as much pure inspiration here. Only when we understand the forest can we take care of it. And in that way the craft is unique, it begins in the forest and has its origin and starting point in the properties and logic of the materials. Wordless knowledge that is transferred between nature and hand, and then from hand to hand. Stories from mother to daughter, from grandfather to grandson. A tacit knowledge that can only be spread through practice and doing. The best thing we can do for nature is to spend a lot of time in forests, mountains and meadows. Only then, when we understand it, can we take care of it.
Said about the book:
"This has to be one of our books that is just right for the time. Here it is about as much as possible about understanding and protecting the forest, about the role of craftsmanship and people's ability to create from nature's gifts." Ica kuriren
