Our Story

Hello! I’m Steph and I am an independent coffin maker, basket weaver and willow grower based in Leominster, North Herefordshire.

I have a City & Guilds qualification in Basketry and in my work, I am guided by four key values: Compassion, Sustainability, Connection, and Craftsmanship. Each coffin and basket I weave reflects these core principles.
