Commissions

I do make baskets and take commissions alongside the coffin making.

I really enjoy designing and making baskets or other willow creations. It is always such a joy to be commissioned to make something unique, special and bespoke. It also gets me out of my comfort zone and I enjoy the challenge of something a bit different!

I am a member of the Take 4 Gallery in Ledbury. The gallery is a cooperative made up of over 20 artists from the local area and I take new stock into the gallery every six weeks. So if you are in the local area, do pop in and have a look at the current basket selection, as well as the wonderful work from local artists.

I also attend different markets and events throughout the year which will be advertised on my social media profiles and below.
