Bohallee, Wheal Vor, Breage, Helston, Cornwall, TR13 9NW BiographyI have worked full time as a basketmaker for the last 20 years, mostly to commission on bespoke items from a smallholding in West Cornwall where I grow a selection of beautifully coloured willow.
I make a wide range of baskets from handbags to log baskets and have specialised in making work for interiors in particular large scale lampshades and lighting, but also screens, walls, seating and made to measure components.
Slowly but surely training up both my adult daughters -Molly and Jo Lovekin in the trade and we are able to work as a small team for certain commissions.
Please check out my website for an up to date Course List and my Instagram gallery for a look at what I have been making.
