WELCOME TO
SUE KIRK WILLOW BASKETS
My husband Kirk and I have been working with willow since 1998 originally inspired by the sustainability of the craft and the benefits which willow brings to the environment. Kirk grows several varieties of basket willows on two plots located in King’s Cliffe.
We both weave just a mile away from the willow beds at our workshop, The Old Brewery Studios. Here the home grown willows are woven into bespoke traditional and contemporary baskets for homes and gardens. Sue also teaches basketry from the workshop.
We advise you to make an appointment if you would like to visit the workshop. Sorry, The workshop is closed to visitors whilst a class is taking place.

Willow Weaving Workshops 2025
Our new willow weaving workshop programme for 2025 is now available on the workshop page. We are delighted to be hosting some of the UK's leading professional basketmakers at The Old Brewery Studios, bringing exciting baskets to teach next year and providing a broad range of techniques and materials for you to work with. Places are still available on courses and please do join a reserve list if a workshop you wanted to attend is full, it's well worth doing this as we have cancellations throughout the year.
