Who am I?

In 2000 I discovered a fantastic pilstativ, and life afterwards has not been the same...

"Klara Arrow" comes from some good friends who could not resist a little friendly bullying when everything was about Arrow!

Arrow is a fascinating nature material. Take a look at my website and let yourself be carried away.

Note: Google Translated this - we think arrow = bolt, as in a bolt of willow reeds (not like a bow & arrow or a bolt of lightning either)

Workshop and shop

Not many years after Klara Arrow had been on the course she quit her job as a nurse.

All her professional attention should now be given the prolific merge.

- Course , I have held for three years already. In the beginning, mostly for friends, but eventually emerged also addressed other participants, says pilfletteren , who started his artistic career in the garden.

In November last year , however, she moved into the old telephone building on Lyefjell .

- 1 May is officially opened . I hope people will stop by and get the eyes to the wonderful hobby , "said Bow and smiles.

Fascinating

According pilfletteren no shortage of work for someone who will hold classes and teach pilfletting .

- Now comes the summer and the coming gardening activities. In the future there will be enough pretty hectic, "said Arrow .

The most fascinating pilfletting thinks she's creativity .

- All you need is the arrow, scissors and a knife and you're going. Arrow , which is related to selling , can perfectly well be grown in Norway, she says , showing a cuttings .

- You stick this in the ground and waiting for the great annual shoots will sprout, "she says and continues:

- Allows you to create just about anything , baskets, fences, Crazy , chairs, nets ...
Everything possible , emphasizes pilfletteren .

Aftenbladet article...I wish I could copy & paste the smell in there, all that willow smells so incredibly fresh & lovely inside her workshop--I would love to can & keep that scent?!
