Alisha Davidson – Mortimer Willow

I live on the border of Herefordshire and Shropshire. I make both traditional and innovative baskets, garden structures and homeware.

​

I work predominantly with willow, which I grow myself or source as locally as possible, I also enjoy incorporating materials I've foraged to add colour and texture to my work. The materials I use are produced with as little negative impact to the natural world as possible to ensure that what I'm creating is sustainable. 

​

Heritage techniques are used throughout my work that I've learnt from attending the City & Guilds Basketry level 2 course which I finished with a Distinction and also received the Basketmakers Association Professional Progress Award for.

​

I aim to create pieces that will stand the test of time whilst also incorporating innovative ideas to push the boundaries of tradition.
