Jilly Greig

Basket maker and teacher based in East Lothian, Scotland.

I started learning basket weaving with Anna Liebmann in August 2021, and was hooked! Since then I have learned more skills with Anna, and Anna Turnbull, Eddie Glew, Hanna Van Aelst, Pen Wilson and Alisha Davidson. I completed my basketry City and Guilds Level 2 at Westhope College, Shropshire in June 2023.

I am a basketmaking tutor at the Poldrate Arts and Crafts Centre in Haddington, East Lothian, and have a lovely group of intermediates and beginners. We meet fortnightly.

I teach willow basket workshops, plant supports and bird feeder workshops as well as one to one or one to two tuition. I love teaching, and if there is anything in particular you would like to make just ask. I also do corporate day workshops for businesses and will talk at womens institutes etc.
