Hello. Welcome to my website. I am a basket maker and willow weaver based in Farnham, Surrey - England's Craft Town. I specialise in woven willow playhouses but I also make baskets which I sell at craft fairs and in the New Ashgate Gallery in Farnham. I am happy to consider commissions for baskets or garden structures including living willow. I love passing on my skills through teaching workshops to adults and children at various venues across Surrey and Hampshire. I can also deliver workshops in schools and to community groups. I live with my teenage daughter who is a keen potter and my husband who is possibly the only electrician in Surrey with a Masters degree in Electronic Engineering! His business is Circitas.

I started weaving about 23 years ago when a lovely lady called Cat (Catherine Beaumont) showed me how to make the base of a basket From that moment on I have had a creative journey, working with and learning about willow. My beginnings were very part time, but in the last few years I've been dedicating much more of my life to the study and practise of this amazing material. My husband Brian and daughter Jaz have joined me in the journey and are now part of the teaching team. Brian has been teaching Conservation management and greenwood crafts for over 25 years and Jaz, nearly 30 now has been home educated and grown up with willow in her veins.
