I am a willow and basket weaver working in Wales, weaving traditional Welsh baskets alongside many other styles. I started working with willow with my pupils in primary school in 2000. Since 2006 have also provided training in Willow Basketmaking and Craft as a skill and as a therapeutic medium, working with schools, individuals, community groups and groups with additional needs. I am a Makers Guild In Wales Selected Member and a yeoman Member of the Worshipful Company of Basketmakers - the high standard of my craft skills being recognised nationally. My work is permanently exhibited at Crafts in the Bay and the National Museum of Wales.
I teach basketmaking across the country and internationally. In 2016 I taught the Welsh Shopper Basket for the UK Basketmaker's Association at Westhope Craft College, in 2023 I also taught a course Exploring Welsh Baskets at Harrogate Ladies College. I have developed and teach Agored Accredited courses in working with willow. My baskets, including traditional Welsh baskets, have featured in national exhibitions in Kingston Upon Thames, Crafts in the Bay in Cardiff, Ruthin Craft Centre, the Harley Gallery, Oriel Myrddin and the New Craftsmaker. I quality assure and guest tutor on City and Guilds Level 2 and 3 basketry in South Wales. In 2019 I taught at the Willow Gathering 2019 in Iowa in the USA, and then in Oregon, an incredible experience!
My work has been featured in Country Living, Landscape Magazine, Country Living Modern Rustic, The Countryman and the Sunday Times.
I am available for willow weaving and willow basketry courses and workshops, school grounds development, INSET days, talks for local groups and to make baskets and willow structures on commission. Contact me to chat about your requirements and I'll do my best to help!
