Näver (Birch Bark), Emma Dahlqvist (book)

"After my first encounter with birch bark, I was hooked. What was supposed to be a few short experiments in the school workshop ended up as my entire last year of study, focused on birch bark and its potential in contemporary design."

Drawing on the amazing qualities and unique aesthetic expression of birch bark, Emma Dahlqvist covers the basics, from where and when to find the best material in the forest to how to harvest and store it. This revised edition introduces traditional techniques such as braiding, as well as more modern, unconventional techniques such as birch bark origami.

Used for thousands of years, birch bark remains a versatile, relevant and sustainable natural material for contemporary craft and design. The book is in Swedish.
