Willow Baskets and Lampshades - handmade in Cornwall

Hello and welcome to my website.

I am a basketmaker living and working in West Cornwall using willow that I grow here on a small holding and willow from the Somerset Levels.

I make everyday items such as backpacks, log and linen baskets, bike baskets, large and small shoppers and have also enjoyed the challenge of some more unusual projects such as a balloon basket for an arts project, willow woven headboards for an eco development, beautiful large lampshades for a number of restaurants and cafes (see above), and even a Tudor dress for the National Trust.

I run basketry workshops for beginners, improvers and intermediate basketmakers all year, please check out my Courses page or sign up to my course list through the contact page.
