WEAVING WILD

I am a basket maker living and working in Mid Wales. Inspired by the landscape, I gather wild materials including  willowbark, grasses, bramble, ivy, nettles, roots and moss to create baskets using ancient technologies and innovative techniques. I hope my work nudges others to relate, understand and protect the natural environment.
