Clare Revera - Welsh Baskets
Clare is a fully qualified basketmaker and teacher, specialising in designing and making high quality traditional and contemporary Welsh baskets which are inspired by the colours and materials of the landscape around her. She grows around 30 varieties of willow, following organic principles, in a field managed for biodiversity in Pembrokeshire.
As a Maker’s Guild in Wales selected member and a Yeoman Member of the Worshipful Company of Basketmakers, the high standard of her craftsmanship has been recognised nationally and her work is permanently exhibited at Crafts in the Bay.
In 2018 she was commissioned to weave the contemporary Rope Coil basket to introduce the Plant Section for the Gweithdy Craft Gallery at the National Museum of Wales.
She has taught for the Basketmaker’s Association and at the Willow Gathering 2019 in Iowa, delivers City and Guilds accredited training, and considers high quality, reflective, progressive and continuous teaching an extremely important aspect of her work.
With the help of funding from the BA and the Heritage Crafts Association Clare has researched and recreated traditional Welsh baskets such as the Cyntell, the Welsh Shopper, the hazel Penclawdd Cockle Basket, the Llangwm Fisherwoman's Back Pannier and the Welsh Tea Things basket.
