I am a willow basketmaker firmly rooted in Angus, NE Scotland. I enjoy creating strong and functional baskets - made to be used often and bring a little bit of pleasure to everyday life! I like to blend tradition with contemporary design bringing visual balance and harmony to my work using colour, pattern and form.
In recent years I have also spent time researching and reviving an arm creel technique unique to the Angus coastline - a lost tradition that I am passionate about bringing back into every-day use through both teaching and making.
