I was originally taught traditional basketry over 20 years ago by professional makers in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Working mainly with willow, I also love experimenting with other materials. I am inspired by basketry and techniques from different cultures as well as the natural environment and the materials it provides. I now make contemporary pieces including sculptural baskets and 2D pieces as well as my more traditional work.

Focus:
Basketry and sculptural work using willow or other natural and found materials.
Commissions:
Available for commissions

New shop on website

27/10/2020

Recent lockdown and the continuing wariness of people to go out to shops and galleries has prompted me to move my business online. My website shop went live a few days ago. More products will be added in the coming weeks.
