Nets - Crafts series

"After my first encounter with mesh, I was hooked. What was supposed to be just a few short experiments in the workshop at school ended up being the entire last year of my education focused on net and its potential in contemporary design."

Drawing on the amazing qualities and unique aesthetic expression of netting, Emma Dahlqvist tackles the basics of netting - from where and when to find the best material in the forest to how to pick and store it. This revised new edition of the book introduces you to traditional techniques such as tamping and braiding, as well as more modern and unconventional techniques such as net origami.

Used for thousands of years, the versatile natural material of net has remained a highly relevant and sustainable material for contemporary craft and design.
