I have worked in forestry and countryside management scince leaving school, and it was through my job as a countryside ranger for a local authority that I found a love of weaving.

I have taught myself through books, classes and just good old fashioned practice, and watching other people weave. 

I am currently focusing on traditional basketmaking, and mostly round work oval and have given square work a go to. 

I sell my baskets through my Etsy shop and at a local farmers market, and I would like to continue to grow this over the next couple of years. 

I have run a couple of workshops in the past making garden supports, and really enjoyed teaching others the skills I have learnt, and I am looking for venues to do more teaching and hopefully gain some qualifications in teaching.
