the art of knitting needle ikebana

A colourful look at the art of knitting needle ikebana. Inspired by the traditional art of Japanese flower display, but with influences from both the domestic world, in which the needles were originally used, and the technological, by which they were produced.

This is a simple art form and yet anyone who engages with the few simple principles of the form will be able to produce artworks, arrangements and sculptures in moments from the quirky and amusing, to the powerful and strikingly beautiful.

The book includes chapters on the philosophy of the form, the concepts, the different techniques, as well as galleries of creations, with the purpose, above all, to inspire you to create your own.
